TRAINING HIKE: Rucking at MacRitchie - Full Loop
Details
Get Ready for the Mountains
For all adventure seekers training for your next trek, or simply be always ready for one! Join me and our trip participants for a training hike:
Meet/End: MacRitchie Reservoir, outside Gink-Go Cafe (formerly Mushroom Cafe)
Distance: 11km
Duration: ~2.5 hours
Note that this is not a leisure hike. We will be fast-hike at 4.5-5km/hour for the entire 11km full loop.
Ruck It Up
Rucking is simply walking/hiking with a weighted pack on your back. Rucking builds muscle and strength while improving cardio & endurance and well… burn up more calories! A day pack of +/-5kg will be a good start, or more for that multi-day trek. Loading up is optional; especially if you may have any health or medical restrictions. We can do a weigh-in of your pack for your own progress tracking if you are up for it.
NOTE:
- advised to have some light breakfast before the workout
- bring sufficient water and food/snacks for refuel. water refill point available at around halfway mark.
- Waterproof your items and be rain-equipped (rain cover, rain jacket, poncho, umbrella, etc.)
- Hiking poles (optional)
In case of Cat 1 (bad weather); any change of plans will be announced on the morning of hike
The 'Waitlist' may not go in order as we reserve the right to prioritize the spots for our trip participants who are training for our upcoming treks. Thank you for your understanding!
