February 2025 Rucking Challenge — Triple Nickles | Rucking Challenges
February rucking Challenge

Triple Nickles

Ruck 5 miles three times, adding weight each time.

The Challenge

Three 5-mile rucks. Weight climbs every time.

This February honors the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, the "Triple Nickles" — the first all-Black airborne unit in U.S. Army history. Their story is one of resilience and breaking barriers, and this challenge asks you to build in the same direction: complete three separate 5-mile rucks, increasing your weight after each one.

Choose Your Level
Beginner
Distance: 5mi x3 (15mi total) Weight: Add 5 lbs each leg
Intermediate

Advanced
Distance: 5mi x3 (15mi total) Weight: Add 15 lbs each leg Time: Back-to-back, no rest
Ruck Clubs

Have the club run all three 5-mile legs together back-to-back, swapping plates between legs so everyone climbs the weight ladder as a group. Bulk pricing is available — email ryan@ruckingchallenges.com for info.
