Ruck Merica

We are thrilled to host a ruck division for the 17.76 Merica Virtual . For the uninitiated, rucking is typically described as walking/hiking with a weighted pack. The activity gets its name from “rucksacks,” which is military-speak for “backpack.”

Our specifics

Men - 30lb dry
Female -15lb dry
Boys under 15 - 20lbs
Girls under 15 -10lbs

We are excited to say each virtual finisher will receive a decal for your supportof Merica!



Weight must be in the form of a steel ruck plate, weight vest blocks, bumper plates or other items which have the weight clearly stamped. Removal of plates or reduction of weight during the event is not authorized. Honor system applies. Do the right thing.

We want this to be an awesome addition to our ultra events!
