Report

I went south to north and utilized three pre-placed drop bags. I completed this route the day before a Maryland stay at home order was issued. I think we're all trying to figure out how to live in this new circumstance. I don't think I would undertake this FKT now with the stay at home order in place. For what it's worth, during the run I maintained the recommended distance from other people and had no contact at both the start and finish. My thought is that this is a reasonable route to attempt while maintaining proper social distancing. The trail is super wide for almost the entire length and easily accommodates travel in both directions. Hopefully once the stay at home orders are lifted and some semblance of normalcy resumes others will be able to come and improve my time of 6:16. The NCR/ Heritage trail one of the great treasures in our neck of the woods.
