Physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health are all interconnected. This year will stretch you in each of these areas. To best prepare you, Training Camp will have multiple physical fitness components.
Upon arrival at Training Camp, every participant should be able to hike 2 miles with their pack in 38 minutes. Georgia is hot and very hilly, so you will want to prepare accordingly!
How does this make you feel? If you feel worried, think about adding some training into your daily schedule to make sure that you’re adequately prepared when you come to camp and eventually for the race.
Challenging ourselves physically opens up the opportunity to stretch and grow us in the other areas of health, as well as drives closeness to the Lord.
Training Camp is a great start to assess your readiness for the physical rigors of life on the Race. You may be asked to defer to a later route until you are physically fit enough to participate.
If you have a new injury or other physical limitation, please notify your Admissions Advisor now!
*MEN: At training camp, you will spend time with some men in World Race leadership. You will go hiking and camping in the North Georgia Mountains, and seek the Lord as you dive into what it means to be men of God. If you are not physically prepared for such an experience, you should begin preparing now*
