Let's do this
April Challenge
The Bataan Death March began on April 9, 1942. After surrendering at the Battle of Bataan, somewhere between 60,000-80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war were forced to march through the Philippines, following a 65 miles long journey in which untold numbers were brutalized, died, or were killed.
This April we will remember and honor these lost soldiers, and all that suffered through this horrible experience, by rucking a derivative of the 65 miles based on your current rucking abilities.
Options for this challenge
Beginner:
Rucker 6.5 Miles.
Intermediate:
Ruck 6 miles 5 times during the month.
Advanced:
Ruck 65 miles this month.

While individual members can chose the challenge that is appropriate for them, we encourage you to schedule one 6.5 miles ruck this month.
