September Challenge

This month we remember the 2,977 lives lost 21 years ago on September 11, 2001. We’ll ruck 1 mile representing the distance around the pentagon. The 3960 stairs equal the 110 stories in each of the twin towers. The 4 miles remember the 4th plane lost in Somerset County, Pennsylvania.

Options for this challenge

Difficulty:

Serious Rucker: Do it all in one ruck.

All Other Ruckers: Split up the rucks as needed.

Weight:

Rucker’s Choice.

Ruck Clubs:
Take on all (or part) of this challenge with your whole ruck club.
(Bulk pricing is available. Email ryan@ruckingchallenges.com for info)

Reminder:
On the stairs, only “up” stairs count.

September Patch

About the design:

While the Pentagon and Towers are obvious, the outer rectangle is intended to remind us of the field in Somerset County, PA, where the 4th plane crashed. In addition, the 13 stripes harken to the United States flag, reminding us of our duty and resolve to continue on, even in the darkness of adversity.
