RUCKING DIVISION:

Were excited to offer a Rucking Division for this race. For those new to the concept, rucking involves walking or hiking with a weighted pack. The term comes from the military word Rucksack, meaning Backpack."

Weight Requirements:

Over 150lb: 20lb dry weight
Under 150lb: 10lb dry weight

Weigh-ins will occur 45 minutes before the race startsno weigh-in, no finishers medal. The weight must be in the form of a steel ruck plate, weight vest blocks, bumper plates, or other items with clearly stamped weight. Participants may not remove or reduce the weight during the event and may face random checks at aid stations or anywhere on the course. We rely on the honor system, so please do the right thing.

Note: Due to awards being given to the top Male and Female Rucking Division finisher those winners must have competed in a Ruck. (Weighted Backpack). Weighted vests, plate carriers etc. which distribute weight away from the back are not eligible for the prizes awarded.
