4th Annual Ruck 'N' Run

Ruckers, ruck (walk with their own rucksack/backpack)
Runners, run (do not wear a rucksack/backpack)

Ruck ‘N’ Run is a walk/run event with a little extra. There are stations along the route where participants must complete a set of exercises before continuing (push ups, bodyweight squats, etc.). Specific info below, under Route.

***New this year... Now there's a 7.62K route with 2 extra stations! Are you up for the challenge?***

Route: The starting line is at the dead end on Meadowview Lane. This is also the finish line. Each participant must stay on the designated route. The route is 5.56K or 7.62K. There are stations along our route. There are three options to choose from; zero reps, 10 reps, or 25 reps of the station exercises.

5.56K Route with 5 Stations:
1. Push Ups
2. Jumping Jacks
3. Mountain Climbers (4 count)
4. Body Weight Squats
5. Burpees (6 count)

7.62K Route with 7 Stations:
1. Push Ups
2. Jumping Jacks
3. Mountain Climbers (4 count)
4. Plyo (“clapping”) Push Ups
5. Walkout Push Ups
6. Body Weight Squats
7. Burpees (6 count)

You’re encouraged to complete the prescribed exercise at each station before continuing. This is to give it that boot camp feel. However, station exercises are optional unless you’re competing for a placement medal. The stations are designed to be completed without the necessity of ruck removal. Participants may choose to remove their ruck to complete the station. However, the challenge is to keep the ruck on, as this adds weight to the exercise. Safety first, though. Getting hit in the head with your ruck during burpees is not fun or required. These exercises are done on the “honor system.” **By registering for this event, you’re agreeing to train and practice these exercises along a similar route on their own time, prior to the event.**

Teams: Form a team with a minimum of 4 to compete as Ruckers or Runners (one or the other, please). The team with the fastest 4 wins the team plaque.

Once you complete the event, you’ve earned your finisher’s medal!

A friendly competition between U.S. Military branches will determine which branch finished with the fastest time for both Ruckers & Runners. Be sure to mark the branch you serve(d) in during registration to include your time in this competition.

Event shirts: Register before October 10, 2018 to guarantee you get an event t-shirt.
