Take on the climb with a 40 lb (Men) / 30 lb (Women) weighted pack—a true test of strength, endurance, and purpose.

Participants should bring their own rucksack or backpack. Weight will be provided on-site, with scales available to ensure proper load.

A limited number of extra rucksacks will be available. If you require one, please reach out in advance at contact@easydaysports.com.

This division is designed to reflect the weight carried by those who serve—transforming the climb into a deeper, more meaningful experience.

Participants in the Ruck Challenge will receive a commemorative finisher coin and are eligible for ruck division awards.

Climb Mt. Soledad at your own pace — walk, hike, or challenge yourself in a way that feels right for you.

This division is open to all fitness levels and offers a meaningful way to participate in Memorial Day weekend. Participants are welcome to go unweighted or bring their own weighted vest or pack for an added personal challenge.

Whether you’re coming for the physical effort or to show support, every step to the summit is part of the tribute.
