30 pounds on your back as a hiking event??? Is this a hiking event or the weight lifting event???
" * Ultralight challenge - Travel the fatherest in 10 days without support - 10 lbs or less" - what so hard about that. This is suppost to be an Olympics event.
30lbs. - It's the weight-hiking event, sort of a biathalon. :D
Ultralight event - how far can you go in 10 days?

Hikers would never pass the drug test for pain killers! But here's a few ideas:
Best Yogi
Fastest Hitch
Best Hiker Box find
Heaviest mail drop
Hairiest female legs
Hairiest male head
Furthest snotrocket
And of course - smelliest!
30 lbs to much wieght:cool: neo
30lbs too much? It's an Olympic Event, sort of like my section hikes. Booze and steak weigh me down.

And after uphill part, sit and eat a large pizza :eek: and then at the end pound a Naglene size quart of water :D USA ,and the thrill of victory
How about the in-town pigout, not to mention the half-way half-gallon ice cream fest? (Extra points for the most interesting mix of items ingested.)

I did around 370 miles in 10 days starting off on the PCT in 1997. I belive that was the most I did in 10 days but I know several hikers have done better.

All these posts are great. My picks would be distance snotrocketing and tent erection while under a fire hose, with standardized tents of course.
