FKT: William Weidman - Bull Run / Occoquan Trail (VA) - 2023-03-31

I have been eyeing the out and back route since the one-way FKT in Feb 2022.  I wanted to get in a big run but needed to stay close to home so I could drop the kids off at school and pick them up.  That gave me the perfect window to go for this.

I started at 9:05am from Bull Run Regional Park.  Temps were cool and trail conditions were great.  As an added bonus, bluebells were in full bloom.  I carried all nutrition and hydration with me from the start, so my pack was a bit heavier than usual as I set off.

I hit the turnaround after 2h45min.  It got warm on the way back, and I ran low on supplies, but I held on  to run about 3 hours on the return.

All in all a great day on a great, historic trail!
