El Camino de Chimayo

Project Grit's "El Camino de Chimayo"

An extraordinary 50k ruck of endurance, camaraderie, and spiritual reflection. At 3am. participants gather at the historic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in the plaza of Santa Fe, the starting point for our journey. Carrying a symbolic load of 30/20 pounds in your rucksack, representing the trials and tribulations we bear in life. The trail unfolds before us we are enveloped by the majestic beauty of New Mexico's high desert landscape. The rugged terrain serves as both a challenge and a source of inspiration. A sense of camaraderie ignites among participants, as we navigate the winding trails and steep inclines together. With each step, we draw closer to our destination: the scared Santuario de Chimayo. Here, amidst the weathered adobe walls, we lay down our burdens, both literal and metaphorical. In this sacred space we find solace and sanctuary for our weary souls. We are reminded that the truest pilgrimage is not merely a journey of distance, but a profound transformation of the heart and spirit.
