The Alonzo Stagg 50/20 Hike (ASH) is a one day hike through Arlington, Maryland, and Washington DC typically held in March each year. The ultimate goal of the hike is to walk 50 miles in 20 hours; however hikers can chose how far they walk based on their own endurance (10 mile minimum). It is a popular event for Chain Bridge District, with between 200 and 250 hikers participating each year.

Each troop that participates in the hike is reponsible for hosting a station during the hike. Troop 624 will be providing the hike support at Bluemont park again this year. Our station at Bluemont is the final one of the hike. It is located at the Bluemont Park Pavilion. We need to man this station from about 4 PM – midnight, because the 50 mile hikers go around a two-mile loop several times to complete the hike. It’s really exciting to watch them finish up their 50 miles. Quite a feat! And we have fun hosting!
