Rucking Races in Wisconsin

The rucking race calendar in Wisconsin is busiest in September, October, and November, with races most often in Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Milwaukee, and La Crosse.

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.
