Rucking is a form of fitness training that involves walking or hiking with a loaded backpack (also known as a rucksack) over various distances.

Rucking can be adapted to different fitness levels, and no prior experience is necessary. However, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new fitness activity.

You will have the option on the day of the race to choose between a 4, 6, and 8 miles course.

The weight of your backpack will depend on your fitness level and the specific event requirements. Beginners might start with lighter weights, around 10-20 pounds, while more experienced participants might carry heavier loads. If you are training, it's important to gradually increase the weight to avoid injuries.

Yes, participants are allowed to take breaks during the event. You can stop at any point to regroup, hydrate, and recharge before continuing.

Training for a rucking event involves gradually increasing your walking distance and the weight in your backpack over time. It's important to follow a structured training plan, incorporate strength and endurance exercises, and gradually build up your stamina. We will also be offering two training opportunities before the event. Check out our Training page to learn more.
