GBF Urban: Operation SURVIVAL

Operation SURVIVAL is Green Beret Fitness's inaugural event in the city of St Petersburg and there will be two mission objectives:

1. Donations of unused gifts to the John Hopkins All Children's Hospital in time for their Christmas sorting.

2. Completion of the course, and associated challenges, as a team in the time allocated.

----------

Minimum Distance: 12 miles

Start Time: 0800hrs

Start Location: 3 Daughters Brewing, St Pete.

Finish Time: 1500hrs

Finish Location: 3 Daughters Brewing, St Pete.

----------

This Team Navigation and Rucking Event will be completed in St Petersburg on Saturday 17th October at 0800AM. The start and finish location will be 3 Daughters Brewing.

Your Team Leader will be issued a list of checkpoints in the morning and your team must plan the most efficient route before setting off to complete the course. Checkpoints (CP) may include shops, bars, famous landmarks, parks, and historic locations. This course will be slightly different in that the whole event will be moving to John Hopkins Hospital as the first checkpoint to deliver the gifts for the children, ready for Christmas sorting.

This event is about planning an efficient route, working together, and individual administration and fitness. 'Look after your body and it will look after you.'

There may be cookies, stretchers, casualties, and medical packs involved in this event. Expect the Unexpected.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S GIFTS

Team Members are asked to donate a minimum of one item to the All Children's Hospital. For an in depth list of what is required, and acceptable, please see HERE.

All the items you donate are included in your 20lbs of weight. Once you donate it, you will be down that weight. The more you donate - the less you carry.
