… MoreEagle Expeditions are Team Red, White & Blue’s own multi-day guided outdoor trips, run at national level rather than by local chapters and led by volunteer veteran Expedition Guides trained in wilderness medicine. Team RWB is a 501(c)(3) veterans’ nonprofit whose membership is free and open to veterans, service members, military families and civilian supporters.
This expedition runs Thursday 21 January to Thursday 4 February 2027 — fifteen days including travel, built around an eleven-day, 110.5-mile unsupported backpacking route through Rakiura National Park on Stewart Island, off the southern tip of New Zealand’s South Island. Ten participants travel with two guides.
Applications closed on 1 September 2026, so this listing is for reference and for anyone tracking the next cycle. Prior backpacking and backcountry experience is required. The commitment is $3,000 in fundraising plus a $200 non-refundable deposit, with registration completed on the Classy platform after acceptance. Team RWB states that Eagle Expeditions are primarily for veterans and service members, though it does not publish that as a hard eligibility rule.
Less Every event worth a weekend, in one email. Rucking, hybrid fitness, obstacle and endurance, wherever in the country they are.
