OVERVIEW:
This is a timed endurance race, carrying a weighted pack (Ruck). All participants can be on the course at any given time. For teams, this is NOT a relay, your combined mileage will be calculated. Each participant must begin their final lap before the 4-hour mark, and must complete that final lap before the 5-hour mark, or it will not be counted. Read further for details and FAQ’s!

Rucking is covering ground on foot under a weighted pack — borrowed from the military and turned into everything from timed solo challenges to long team events. Simple to start, deceptively hard to finish.
It rewards steady effort and mental grit over speed, and the community side — moving together under load — is a big part of the draw.
