Rucking Division

In addition to a running division, we offer a rucking division. Rucking is walking with a weighted backpack/ruck on your back.

If competing for the top 1-3 places for male, female and non-binary, you must meet the minimum dry weight requirement inside your backpack/ruck before anything else, including food and water. We recommend a ruck plate of some sort but it's ultimately up to you. Other options for weight include dumbbells, sandbags, or weight plates. Weight vests and ruck plate carriers are allowed.

  • Men and Non-Binary Adults - 30 pounds
  • Women - 20 pounds
  • Kids - 10 pounds (Ages 8-17); 5 pounds (under 8)

If not competing for the top 1-3 places, then the weight you carry is up to you.

Course

The course runs along the Jordan River Parkway Trail and is all paved. The race is professionally chip timed. The chips are attached to the back of your bib number. Bibs must be worn on the front of you in order to be accurately timed.

5K Route with a water station at the halfway point. There are bathrooms at the start and finish line.

Dogs

Leashed dogs are OK for this race but they must stay on a leash the entire time.

Packet Pickup

The Charity Beneficiary

In the military, service members push the limits of their well-being to support the mission. That selfless service posture has always been necessary because service members of every era knew they may be called to war. As they move into civilian life, many veterans carry that mission-first mindset with them, neglecting their health in the process.

We believe that veterans are America’s most resilient citizens — and it’s time for more veterans to prioritize their well-being first. 

Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) exists to guide them through that journey with real-life and virtual opportunities focused on building a healthier lifestyle because a strong focus on mental and physical health is critical to ensuring veterans’ best days are ahead. 

More than 200,000 members are already forging the nation’s leading health and wellness community for veterans. Will you join the team?
