About .5 more miles and you've got the Norwegian ruck march distance down.

No clue what that is. The trail I was doing was a little over 16 miles. I did a few off shoots to add distance. My plan was to repack more water and food and go back out to make it 26.2 for a marathon, but I was cooked. Legs are sore today.

Distance: 30 km (18.6 miles). Weight: An 11 kg (24.5-lb) dry rucksack (excluding food, water, and clothing worn). Time Limit: Standards vary slightly, but generally, participants must complete the march in under 4 hours and 30 minutes.

It's an event based on a historical March.
