SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A RUCK AND WHAT IS THE RUCK + RUN CHALLENGE????
A ruck, or ruck sack, is military term for large backpack of gear that is used in training and on the battlefield. The Ruck + Run Challenge requires men to wear a 45 lb minimum ruck and women to wear a 30 lb minimum ruck. In addition to carrying the extra weight, participants will stop at some challenge stations along the 5k route. Each participant must provide their own ruck.
You can sign up as an individual or do this as a team. You can create a team when registering and then share the team name with others who you would like to join your team.
