About this Event
Strip down, strap in and suffer alongside your mates.
The Weight of War Run is 21km in a 10kg weighted vest and a pair of budgy smugglers. The vest stands for the invisible weight veterans carry. The smugglers stand for the guts it takes to ask for help.
Pick your distance: 21km, 10km, 5km, a 1km walk, or set your own. The vest is optional. No timing, no placings, no prizes, just mates carrying the load together.
100% FREE to enter, for everyone, veteran or not.
