The Grand Teton fastest known time (FKT) record has stood for 12 years.<\/strong> This month, Michelino Sunseri broke that record and claimed the FKT, running the nearly 15-mile route, climbing and descending 7,000 vertical feet, and returning to his car in just 2 hours, 50 minutes, and 50 seconds.<\/p>\n “It was definitely a doozy,” he told GearJunkie following the attempt. <\/p>\n In an Instagram post, Sunseri said that on the morning of September 2, as he drove along what he called his “morning commute” to Grand Teton National Park<\/strong><\/a>, he knew it was The Day. He could feel that if he gave it his all on that perfect weather morning, he’d beat Andy Anderson’s 2012 record and set a new FKT for this popular climbing route.<\/p>\n
