World Race Men,
You are about to embark on an incredible journey, and we’re so excited for all that the Lord is going to take you on this year. We believe something incredible happens when we are able to spend time together as men and press in deep with the Lord. During training camp, there will be a MAN HIKE! While on the hike, we will seek the Lord together, go hiking and camping in the North Georgia Mountains, and dive into what it means to be a man of God.
We are so excited to spend time investing in you and in the work God is already doing in your lives.
Grace and Peace,
Bill Swan
Director of Field Leadership

Here is a briefing of what to expect and what to pack for the hike.

Rain Cover for Back Pack

**I would recommend packing some high carbs snacks such as granola bars or meal replacement powder. We will provide food, but it might be nice to have a little something if you start to feel depleted.
**Also, aim to have your pack under 25 pounds for the hike. We will leave extra stuff at training camp.
**The hike is about 12 miles, so i would recommend exercising prior to training camp to build up some endurance.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
