What rucking is

Rucking events cover a set distance on foot while carrying a weighted rucksack (think a more rugged backpack). Formats range from timed distance challenges (a set route against the clock) to team-based events that can last several hours.

The pace is a fast walk, not a run, and the weight adds up over the distance. Distances and required weights vary by event and division, and many events emphasize teamwork and endurance as much as raw speed.
