September Challenge
This month we remember the lives lost 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.
Difficulty:
Serious Rucker: Do it all in one ruck.
All Other Ruckers: Split up the rucks as needed.
Weight:
Rucker's Choice.
September Patch
About the patch:
This patch is designed to cause quiet reflection on the loss of life at the pentagon (the patch’s shape), the twin towers (in the top portion), and the field in Pennsylvania (the white field in the bottom).
We purposely left off any wording or branding from the patch so that when people see it, it causes them to simply pause and reflect.
We hope that as you wear this patch you will remember the ruck you did to earn it, but more importantly that you will remember those we lost and those they left behind.
Patch design by Jason Hendrickson.
This patch will be PVC.
