*#*#*#*#* SUMMER 50 MILE HIKE *#*#*#*#*
==========July 20 and 21, 2012==========
Hike or support the Summer 50!
Mandatory information session for hikers and volunteers:
This Wednesday July 11
Meeting for hikers starts at 9:00 pm
Meeting for volunteers starts at 9:30 pm
What is the Fifty?
4 people, 53.6 miles, Hanover to Moosilauke in 2 Days and 1 night, No sleep! Thirty brave Dartmouth students will hike 50 miles from Hanover to Moosilauke Ravine Lodge in teams of 3-4, following the Appalachian Trail.
Fifty other Dartmouth students will be waiting at seven support stations along the trail, to feed and hydrate the hikers, rub their feet, and provide general merriment.
When is the Fifty?
July 20 and 21
Hikers will leave Hanover between 11-2:00pm on Friday afternoon, and be at the Lodge for dinner on Saturday
How do I prepare for the meeting?
Get a team together - the 50 is hiked by teams of 3 or 4 people. Try to find 2 or 3 other students who you won't mind spending 30 hours with, alone, in the woods. Once you've got your team organized, think of a clever team name.
If you don't have enough teammates, don't worry. You should be able to find a number of willing hikers at the meeting.
Come find out more at the information sessions on Wednesday!
