Ruck of The Week... 15 Miles

Start Time: 4:30am

Where: The Crossing at Grant's Trail

Required Gear: Ruck/Weighted Vest (prescribed weight 30lbs), 6 liters of water, at least 2 of which must be electrolytes, headlamp, reflective straps

Optional Gear: Food, sunscreen, bug spray, cash, and first aid kit (I will be bringing one)

Why: This is the last day for Covering House Challenge and were looking at getting at least 15 miles in. It'll mostly be paved roads but will be fairly challenging. This ruck will be broken up into two parts. We will ruck out about 3-4 miles and back to start. And then take about 15 minutes break to pick up any other PAX that might want to join for second half and ruck about 3-4 miles the other way and back. This will take at least 5-7 hours in total. Please make sure to hydrate the week before and bring proper nutrition if you need it.
