14,400 miles. 14,4000 miles is approximately the distance to Afghanistan & Back. Our friendly competition started October 1, 2013 and two companies have completed the challenge of walking to Afghanistan & Back!

 

All of our amazing participants should be extremely proud of their accomplishments. As a battalion we have logged an impressive 58,639.89 miles. That is a lot of miles! We have over 460 participants as well!

 

Our Walk is not over yet! We will continue to strive to log as many miles are we can and continue to commit to staying healthy, spending more time outdoors, building lasting friendships, and connecting with our 1/9 Family and Friends by running, walking, swimming, or biking (any type of aerobic activity) to Afghanistan and back!

Even Closer....

We are so very close! Charlie Company is in the lead with an impressive 13,084 miles logged so far! Alpha is very close behind with 12,272.60 miles. All of the companies are doing great and still have time to catch up. I really think these next couple of weeks will be the determining factor in which company walks to Afghanistan and Back first! Remember, it is 14,400 miles to Afghanistan and Back!

You all should be so proud of all you have accomplished thus far. You have gotten out and logged miles and walked, ran, swam, biked, rowed, danced, and paddleboard your way to a healthier you! We have logged an amazing

51,391.86 miles

in all! Give yourselves a huge pat on the back for all those miles!

1st Place: Charlie Company 13,084 miles
2nd Place: Alpha Company 12, 272.60 miles
3rd Place: Weapons Company 10,752.08 miles
4th Place: H & S Company 9,462.22 miles

Getting Close....

As a battalion, we have made it to Afghanistan & Back approximately 3 1/2 times. We have logged an impressive

42,561 miles

 

That is a lot of calories being burned and a lot of people making their ways to a more healthy lifestyle! Amazing work! It is still a very close race between the companies and we are very close to seeing who will be going to Afghanistan & Back first!

Alpha, Charlie, Weapons, and H & S Companies have all made it to Afghanistan and they are now heading back! Yipee! Bravo can still make it but they need to start logging some more miles to catch up. There is still plenty of time and the competition is not over yet.

Alpha Company is in 1st place but Charlie Company is in a very close 2nd place. Here are the standings.

1st Place: ALPHA 10,368.3 miles
