New 5K Route Concept for 2026

2 strategies to overcome the 2026 Wolverine 5K ruck race.

1) Follow the easily navigated trail from mandatory check point to check point as fast as possible.

• You should still be able to plot an 8-digit grid on a map to ensure you take the correct trails and find interesting FRAGOs.

• Gathering intel along the way.
  

2) Find optional high point value FRAGO check points along the way racking up major points but also spending precious time and energy doing so.
