Dallas carry the load walk

[Dingo]

Anyone going or interested in putting together a team?
I have done this for several years, and as a veteran, I can tell you that it can be emotional and rewarding.
it is a great way to honor those who gave all.

Any vets on here?

How far? Humping rucks? I am interested.

Yes, I'm a vet. It's too far away and family matters won't let me join in.

I believe the total trail is a 20 mile loop, but people walk less or more. There is even a 24 hour challenge. I usually carry a backpack with snacks and water, tho there are hydration stations setup every couple of miles. i will try to carry pics of my grandfather, dad and a few friends. There is a team made up of the remainder of a unit, that carries a large section of an oak tree with the names of their fallen brothers burned into it. It’s pretty amazing. I cant walk fast as I have a bum leg, but have always walked the loop.

For those that can’t make it, you can go to the website, and start a storyboard to honor fallen military or first responders.then they have a parade to place the storyboards along the trail. It’s awesome

At 74 years old. I've got better sense than to attempt something like this.

I agree. I'm at 75 and I know it would take at least 10 days, or longer, to walk 20 miles.

@Tnhawk we could do the walk ,if we could do it at our own pace and time frame.

You must have been Air Force. That’s ok, leave it to the Men

The insignia to the left look like Air Force?

I’ve probably rucked more weight, more often, and for longer distances as an Airman than the average soldier or Marine did.
