WHAT'S A RUCK?!?

A ruck is walking/hiking with a weighted pack. Rucking is a fundamental part of military training, involving soldiers walking long distances while carrying heavy packs. It's used to build strength, endurance, and prepare soldiers for combat.

Ruck & Roll participants can use weighted packs, vests, or no weight at all!

PLEASE BE SURE TO REVIEW THE COURSE MAPS PRIOR TO REGISTERING.



WHAT'S THE ROLL?

The roll is for ADAPTIVE ATHLETES using handcycles or recumbents. Please note the competitive roll takes place on challenging terrain.
