My partner and I intend to double the Womble this coming weekend (1/18-19).

For what it's worth: from its start at North Fork lake to its confluence with the Ouachita Trail, the Womble is ~32 miles. The 37 mile length quote here (and seen frequently elsewhere) assumes ~5 miles of the Ouachita Trail to get you to/from the nearest road crossing (AR27). Our intention is to stick to just the Womble, so we'll start at the North Fork trailhead and turn around when we reach the Womble terminus at the OT.

Here's our video from the Double Womble - https://youtu.be/ri7uS_kKrOU. If you are close by it is a great trail to hit. 

 

Hi all— I forgot to announce ahead of time but I ran the Womble Unsupported yesterday in about 10.5 hours. Am submitting now for confirmation 💗 

It was a beautiful day and things went fairly smoothly, aside from running through an active wildfire at about 8 am. I stopped to call it in and they dispatched fire crews to the area, now that section of trail is closed. Hopefully they get it cleaned up soon!
