Alonzo Stagg Hike 2020

March 21, 2020

20/25/50 Miles

Sign up for the 2020 Alonzo Stagg is going up now! Read on to see why!

The Alonzo Stagg Hike (ASH) is one of the most challenging events that our Troop offers. Although Troop 149 has over 150 Eagle Scouts, there have only been 10 Scouts that have completed all 50 miles of the hike.

NOTE: There won't be a 10 mile option at this year's ASH. 10 mile hikers comprised almost 50 percent of all the hikers on the day of the ASH, and the administrative burden of supporting all of those hikers was becoming too great. (Stay tuned for a non-ASH 10 mile option, however!)

This year, the organizers are only offering a 20, 25, or 50 mile hike. All of these hikes start at St Agnes Catholic Church, head up Military, cross Chain Bridge to the towpath, then head towards Great Falls. The 20 mile hikers turn around at Lock 10, double back to Key Bridge, then head up Lee Highway back to St Agnes. 

The 25 and 50 milers head all the way to Great Falls, then double back. 25 milers stop at Fletcher's Boathouse. 50 milers continue past Fletcher's, cross Key Bridge, follow the hiking path past Reagan National Airport, then take 4 Mile Run through Shirlington, to the W&OD trail, to the Bluemont Park pavilion, at which point they do the four infamous "Bluemont Loops" to finish their 50 miles. 50 milers start at 5:30 AM, and must finish by 1:30 AM the next day.

If you are interested in challenging yourself with the 20 mile hike, or taking on the ultimate challenge of the 50 mile hike, please sign up soon! NOTE: Sign up by the end of January if you're going to try the 50 miler! We will need to know interest so we can set up the two MANDATORY training hikes in February and early March. The first training hike will be around 10 miles, so those wanting a 10 mile hike can take part in that.

Fees are usually $10, $12.50, and $25 for the 20/25/50 hike respectively. More info when it is available.

For additional info, ask Mr. Kellenberger, Mr. Miller, or Mr. Vargas!
