Hey Everyone, I would like to attempt this FKT around February 23 or February 24, depending on when kids have soccer games and swimming. I hope some people will come out and join me. Thank you so much.

My email is: mwardian@rocketmail.com. Cheers,Mike

Hey guys, looks like February 23, 2019 starting from Purcellville at 5:00am...just FYI..

I am planning to run the W&OD unsupported in the proper direction, from MM 0 in Shirlington to Purcellville. Perhaps it will be an FKT.

Does anyone know if water fountains are still on in early October?

Hello all!

I’m going to attempt the W&OD unsupported FKT on 12/30/19 starting in the morning from Purcellville and ending in Shirlington. 12/30 is my 40th birthday so this is my present to myself???!

My email is mjcarter79@gmail.com and I will post results on Strava on top of live tracking via Gaia or Garmin.

Merry Christmas and thank you!!

Due to thunderstorms, this run will be moved to Tuesday, 12/31.

I'm gonna try for the W&OD unsupported FKT on Sunday, 9/20/20. I'll be going in the uphill direction from Shirlington to Purcellville, not just because I'm a glutton for punishment, but also because I'll finish close to home. Whether I get the FKT or not, beers will be enjoyed in Pville at the end.

Hey crazy runners!

I guess I should share my intention of the attempt, so here it is!

I'm going to try the W&OD unsupported FKT tomorrow, Saturday, November 21st, from Purcellville to Shirlington. I will post the results once I finish. Wish me luck! ?

I am turning 48 tomorrow (Saturday, October 1), and what better way to celebrate than running the W&OD from Shirlington to Purcellville (supported). I am adding on some extra miles afterwards to make it 48 miles. The weather is looking interesting, but running isn't canceled because of the rain or wind.

Hi There! I'm very much looking forward to taking a swing at my first FKT attempt (female, supported) this Saturday, May 18th, from Shirlington to Purcellville.

It's currently looking a little rainy, but I'm regarding it as more fodder for the adventure.
