As the frigid wind sweeps across the region, the men of The Fort hear the wild call of a winter beast. The annual appearance of the Yeti has been rumored for weeks…. and today is confirmed.
The Yeti is a formidable foe, offering roughly 13 miles of ground to cover including both road and trails with multiple pain stations along the route to challenge the PAX. There is a relay option every 3 miles to cut the event up so it is manageable by all PAX. There is also a ruck option for those who choose that method to challenge the beast.
This year’s edition starts and ends at the newest brewery in Tega Cay, Model A Brewing, at 8am for runners and 7am for ruckers. This will setup an endex at roughly 11am for an amazing 2nd F experience for the Pax to cap off a brutal morning with beers and food. Check the route here and the menu here.
