The Challenge

Ruck the anthem. Twilight to dawn.

In honor of July 4th, this challenge follows the anthem itself, through twilight's last gleaming and into the dawn's early light. Run it Regular as two separate rucks: start before sunset and go until dark, sleep, then start again while it's still dark and finish at sunrise. Or run it Advanced and skip the sleep entirely, one continuous push from dusk straight through to dawn. Fitting for a challenge built on darkness, this month's patch actually glows.

Choose Your Level
Beginner
Distance: One ruck (twilight or dawn) Weight: Rucker's choice
Intermediate
Distance: Two rucks (twilight & dawn) Weight: Rucker's choice Time: Sleep between rucks
Advanced
Distance: One continuous overnight ruck Weight: Rucker's choice Time: Sunset straight through sunrise
Ruck Clubs

Ruck the evening leg together as a club, then meet back up before sunrise to finish the second leg as a group. Bulk pricing is available — email ryan@ruckingchallenges.com for info.

Rucking is simply walking with a weighted backpack. If you'd like to learn more, here is an entire site devoted to the sport of rucking.

Because doing hard things and earning patches is awesome.
