This was the first time that a team from Special Forces (SF) Regiment participated in such a competition and was placed fifth in an internationally-recognized event of this nature, bringing recognition to the Army.
The competition was a team event and conducted under three different adventures in running (6.7 km), cycling (26 km) and rafting (11 km) of a total of 43.7 km in distance. Thirteen teams participated in the competition, including two Briksh Gurkha Teams, one Bangladesh Team and nine Nepal Teams. The event was held at the banks of Trisuli River in Dhading District.

Although twenty members took part in the initial training, only five (four participants and one reserve) were selected for the participation in Nepal. Running Sneakers | nike air max 95 obsidian university blue book list
