Concord Trails I

Concord Trails I, F3Knoxville's first Overnight Ruck-based CSAUP will be F3KnoxRucks first official event! Concord Trails will begin & end at The Cove at Concord Park. This ruck-based event will step-off post-0700 and will cover 12-15 miles over a 10-hour timeframe that will include ruck mileage and several beatdowns along the way. While the goal of this event is to help prepare the PAX for GTE, it will not be ‘cadre-led,’ modifications will be allowed (encouraged if needed), and while the 1st F is the focus for this event, the 2nd F will be present throughout.

Basic Knox Rucks Training (BKRT)

F3KnoxRucks is looking to create its own Knoxville-specific Ruck Training Program. The purpose of this program is to lower the barrier of entry (from $35 to $8) and make it specific to the men of the F3Knoxville Region. This program will have some of the same aspects as Pathfinder including: a private Slack channel to post updates and find connection to others participating, dedicated individual and optional team/AO tracking, and a custom patch upon completion!

Training programs will run quarterly:

Jan - March

April - June

July - September

October - December

There is a minimal cost of $8 to compete. All monies will be used towards the patch order and excess funds will be returned to the F3Knoxville Kitty.
