🔥 🔥Sadist Saturdays: Conditioning Series 🔥
👺 Are you ready to ‘hurt so good’ and push your personal limits?
Get ready for the Sadist Saturdays conditioning series, the ultimate test of endurance, strength, and levity. Designed for those committed to improving their stamina and being patient with themselves and others, this series is not for the faint of heart, but together, anything is possible.

🦊 Why “Sadist Saturdays”?
Because we can! - This series has one goal in mind: to get stronger, faster, and more conditioned, while tackling some intense and rewarding hikes in the area. Whether you’re attempting a monumental challenge like a 70km hike (Severt Lawyer!), pushing yourself to the next level, or wish to support those that are, this series will leave you dripping with sweaty satisfaction.🤌🏽

Expect heart pumping inclines, deliciously long distances, and jolly good company, all while absorbing the beauty of our wonderful area. And remember, we move as fast as we can manage together, because that’s how we get better, together. 💪🏽
That being said, Severt will be the pace setter (99% of the time) for these events since this is really to prep him for his birthday hike (May 24th). He will push as much as he can on these events! 💯%

Pace & Difficulty: This is for people who are ready to move. We’ll aim for an average pace around 2.5 mph, with the goal of hitting 3.0 mph over ten weeks. This is a moderate to quick pace with consistent challenges along the way. 🥾
Gradual Increase in Difficulty: These hikes are designed to steadily increase in difficulty. Elevation, distance, and speed will all ramp up over time. By the end of the series, your endurance should improve if you have pushed yourself appropriately. 📈
Weight Challenge: If you do not consider this as difficult and you’re looking for a challenge, consider adding a weighted vest or backpack. 🏋🏽Please consider your abilities and be safe when adding weights.

We promise it won’t be easy, but at least you’ll have good decent company! 💀

This event has: Moderate Pace/Moderate Terrain/Challenging Distance.

💪🏽 This is NOT a beginner friendly hike, we will be keeping a decent pace of an average of 2.5mph or greater, depending on the groups’ strength and conditions. If this doesn’t seem difficult consider bringing a weighted vest, or a sufficiently heavy pack that will make this pace challenging.

🚗🚙 I will not be organizing a carpool for this event. If you wish to carpool, please feel free to set that up in the event comments.

🅿️ Small gravel lot at the end of E. Knott St. in Vernonia.
Meet me at that lot. We will consolidate into as few vehicles as possible and drive the 30min from here to the Scappoose Trailhead. Drivers will be driven back to their vehicles at events end. This event begins promptly at 9:15am.
