July Rucking Challenge
The Challenge:
Ruck 84 minutes carrying a log.
Let's do this
Hands down, one of America’s toughest presidents is Theodore Roosevelt. This July we’ll honor the Rough Rider president by heeding his words to “speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”
Indeed, you will go far. You’ll carry a big stick (aka, a log) for 84 minutes.
Why 84 minutes? Because that’s how long the speech was that he gave in 1912 after being shot. In the chest.
Channel your inner Roosevelt, grab a log, and celebrate American grit and determination.
Difficulty:
Beginners: Make it a smaller log or share the log with a friend.
Experienced: Don’t skimp on the log. Make Roosevelt proud.
Clubs: Lots of people + Lots of Logs = Awesomness.
