What is a Ruck?
A ruck is short for rucksack (military slang for a backpack.) It can also mean the action of rucking or going on a ruck march. For example, you might say: “I rucked 10 miles yesterday with a 20lb weight in my backpack.”  

You can "ruck" with any amount of weight with a minimum amount of 20 pounds.  

Rucking Tips – The basics:

1. Grab a backpack

2. Load it up with at least 20 lbs of weight; can be bricks, dumbbells, plates, anything to get the 20 lbs.

3. Move - the distance and the pace is totally up to you.

Only rule - you have to keep the weight on for your entire distance.

We will award one prize each to the top M/F finisher of the full 50K RUCK category.
