We will kick off cycling as early as 4am, traveling approx 12 miles through Kirkwood to the Grant's Trail and back.

Running... 5-Mile Runs x 4

Start Time: 7am, 8am, 9am & 10am

Where: Around Kirkwood

We will kick off running as early as 7am, with a 5-mile loop around Kirkwood.

Rucking... 15 Miles

Start Time: 4:30am

For those not wanting to do the Overnight Ruck

Where: Around Kirkwood

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.
