September rucking Challenge

9/11 Memorial Ruck

The Challenge

1 mile. 3,960 stairs. 4 miles. Never forget.

This month we remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001. The 1 mile represents the distance around the Pentagon. The 3,960 stairs represent the 110 stories of the Twin Towers. And the 4 miles honors the fourth plane, lost in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Carry 20-30 lbs through all three legs.
