🏋️ What’s a Ruck?

A ruck is walking or hiking with a weighted pack — a key part of military training used to build strength and endurance. Participants can choose weighted packs, vests, or go unweighted.

🚴 What’s a Roll?

The roll is for adaptive athletes using handcycles or recumbents. Competitive rolling takes place on challenging terrain, so please review the course maps before registering.
