August Rucking Challenge
Bring the Heat
Let's do this
August Challenge
Bring the Heat is your chance to test your grit, speed, and lungs under load. This month-long rucking challenge is simple in structure but brutal in execution:
Ruck 1 mile as fast as you can.
That’s it. No pacing, no comfort zone—just you against the clock.
You can attempt the challenge as many times as you’d like throughout the month. Track your progress, chase your PR, and see how much fire you can bring.
Weight standards are 30 lbs for anyone over 150 lbs, and 20 lbs for those under. Lace up, lock in, and bring the heat.
Bring the Heat
Distance: 1 Mile
Weight: 30 lbs for anyone over 150 lbs, and 20 lbs for those under.

It should be in your mailbox in near the start of the month or within 6 business days after you order (if you order in the month of the challenge). Time will be longer for international customers.

We ship patches internationally at no additional cost. It just takes a while for them to get there.
