what is rucking?
Rucking is a low-intensity exercise in which you add weight to your back while walking or hiking. Rucking can help you burn calories and build strength—more so than ordinary walks or hikes.
To participate in our Rucking Division, bring your own backpack loaded with canned food of your desired weight (it is recommended that beginner ruckers start around 10lbs). When you cross the finish line, your canned food will be collected and donated to a local food pantry.
