FAQs

  • Do I need to be really fit to take part?

    Not at all. Our events are designed to be for everyone. Yes, they are challenging in areas but they have also been designed to not be super-technical and therefore are accessible to everyone! Just pick the category that suits you!

  • What is Rucking?

    Rucking (also known as yomping or tabbing) is essentially racing, jogging or walking with a weighted backpack. The sport has its origins in military-style training and is an incredible way to build real-life strength, endurance and functional fitness!

  • Do I have to be an experienced athlete to enter the Bristol Epic Trail Ruck?

    No, this event is open to newcomers as well as more seasoned runners! Just pick the category that you feel suits you.

  • What other amenities will there be on the day?

    A bag drop area, toilets, food and drink vendors and also some extra special fitness apparel & merch!

  • Will there be a photographer on the day?

    Of course - we'll have several throughout the route!

  • Will there be water stations on the course?

    Of course, there will be several along the route!

  • Rucking or trail running? I'm not sure which to choose!

    As with all of our events in our Epic Trail Ruck Series, there are three main ways you can take on the Ashton Court 10k route: The Pro Ruck Category - i.e. take on the 10k route with the addition of a weighted backpack that we will provide you with on the day (25lbs/11.3kg for men, 15lbs/6.8kg for women). The Novice Ruck Category - take on the same 10k route with the addition of a lighter backpack that we will provide you with on the day (15lbs/6.8kg for men, 10lbs/4.5kg for women). The Trail Run Category - i.e. take on the same 10k route as a standard trail run!

  • Do I have to race others or can I just do it just for fun?

    As with all of our events, our aim is to encourage as many people as possible to test their fitness outside the walls of the gym, regardless of their levels of fitness! Everyone in the same category will start at the same time and will receive a finish time so it's up to you how you take on the course. You can push the pace and race against your fellow competitors or take the route on at your own pace.

  • When will we find out our heat times?

    We will send out an athlete pack which will include exact heat times on the week of the event. This pack will also include important information including parking etc. Provisionally all heats will start between 11-11.30am
