Q) So do I have to be there for the full 24 hours?A) Well, no, you don’t but remember what the event is about. Honouring those men and women to put yourself out of your comfort zone for 24 hours seems like a very small price to pay to remember those that paid the ultimate price. So to duck away to get a good night sleep in your own bed kind of goes against the grain of the event.
In addition, it's great to support your fellow team mates especially during the fatigue in the middle of the night.
Q) Is there anywhere I can sleep if I need to?A) Please speak directly with your host gym. Bring a swag or a rolled up mattress, pitch a tent outside (on concrete at all the locations, so bring a mat), bring a camper trailer (let us know beforehand so we can be sure it will fit).
