Have you ever stood in a corral with 30,000 runners who are toeing the starting line ready to run 13.1 miles as fast as possible? There is an energy permeating the crowd that is unmistakable. You can feel it. It’s electric. Have you ever ran your hands over the individual letters of an engraving at a memorial as you discover the name of a family member? The knowledge that their courage and sacrifi
ce will be revered by generations to come is un-parrelled. It's humbling. Have you ever sat in an airplane with a parachute strapped to your back as the jumpmaster opens the door? You can feel the wind hitting your face as you look at the world from above the clouds. The mixture excitement, fear, and adrenaline overwhelms your senses. It's intoxicating. Have you ever driven nails into two-by-fours as dozens of volunteers work in unison to build a home for a family in need? You can feel a connection with the project knowing that what you are doing will change someone’s life. It’s inspiring. These descriptions invoke thoughts of challenging physical preparation, exhaustive planning, expensive equipment, and impossible time commitments. Thoughts of experiences that are beyond the reach of the average person. This could not be further from the truth. At 3 Day Weekend we believe that every time you step out of your door you encounter opportunities to experience amazing adventures.
