Adv Club - Berlin Marathon
The HPM Adventure Flag #7 took an adventurous adventure throughout Germany for the Berlin Marathon and the iconic Oktoberfest in Munich. She gloriously travelled from Frankfurt to Berlin to Munich and back to Frankfurt all in 5 days with repeat Adventure Club member, Jessica Castañeda.
From Jessica: "The Berlin Marathon was the HOTTEST, wettest yet driest (zero booze on course) marathon I’ve ever run—but so much fun! Flag #7 was drenched in sweat, water, Huma gel, Maurten drink mix, fire hydrant water, beer, more beer, and was even sprinkled with some leftover bretzel crumbs. Carrying the HPM flag throughout Germany was such an unmatched vibe and an excellent conversation starter! The HPM Flag understood the assignment extremely well, too well if you ask me. Till next time ... but on mountainous trails *insert gasp in Spanish*.
