Anyone else going to this event? I wasnt able to make it the last few times do to the war but am going in 4 months to this one. Anyone else here planning on doing it? Its basically a marathon where there are 2 divisions: light and heavy. Light is for runners or walkers and heavy is where you carry a 35 pound pack for the 26.2 mile duration. Its out in New Mexico and the elevation ranges from 4050 to 5418. terrain ranges asphalt, dirt, gravel and sand.

Let's dust this one off. Just came back from the 27th annual Bataan Memorial Death March. Have started, second year, using this as a preseason training hike. Was nice meeting a couple of the survivors and participating with numerous Wounded Warriors. My motivation near the end was keeping pace with a below-the-knee amputee.

My late father served in the South Pacific and left a lot of friends there. I think this event is just great.
