FEBRUARY Rucking Challenge
The Challenge:
Ruck 5 miles three times. Increase weight every 5 miles.
Let's do this
This February, honor the legacy of the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion—known as the “Triple Nickles,” the first all-Black airborne unit in U.S. Army history. These trailblazers exemplified resilience, courage, and strength, breaking barriers and setting a standard of excellence. Their story inspires this month’s rucking challenge, reminding us of the power of perseverance and progress.
Your challenge is to complete three 5-mile rucks during February, increasing the weight with each 5-mile ruck.
Weight:
Rucker’s Choice but you must increase weight every 5 miles.
Distance:
Three 5-Mile Rucks (total of 15 miles).
You may split the rucks over the course of different days OR you can knock them all out back-to-back 5-mile rucks.
Ruck Clubs:
Bulk pricing is available. Email ryan@ruckingchallenges.com for info.
