January rucking Challenge

New Year Ruck

Ruck 20.25 miles to kick off the new year.

The Challenge

Start the year with 20.25 miles under load.

Now a Rucking Challenges tradition, there's no better way to start the year than strapping on your ruck and putting in real miles. Cover 20.25 miles to welcome 2025 — ideally in one push on New Year's Day, but the miles count whenever and however you rack them up.

Ruck Clubs

Schedule a New Year's Day 20.25 mile ruck, arranging the course so it passes the start point every 5 miles and offering shorter distances (5, 10, 15) for anyone who wants in. Bulk pricing is available — email ryan@ruckingchallenges.com for info.
