This past weekend I competed in the Bataan Memorial Death March: A 26.2 mile march with a 35lb+ ruck in White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Their website describes the event this way:
"The Bataan Memorial Death March is a challenging march through the high desert terrain of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, conducted in honor of the heroic service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War II, sacrificing their freedom, health and, in many cases, their very lives."
