July 2026 Rucking Challenge — America 250 | Rucking Challenges
July rucking Challenge

America 250

Ruck 25 miles to celebrate America's 250th birthday.

The Challenge

25 miles for 250 years.

This July, the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, and there's really only one rucking way to mark it: a 25.0-mile ruck at 25+ lbs. Ideally you knock it out on July 4th itself, but if you need to break it up over a few rucks across the month, that's fine too. Whatever you do, get out there and celebrate.

Choose Your Level
Beginner
Distance: 25mi, split across July Weight: 25 lbs
Intermediate
Distance: 25mi, split across a few sessions Weight: 25 lbs
Advanced
Distance: 25mi in one session on July 4th Weight: 25 lbs
Ruck Clubs

Plan the route in 5-mile loops so people can jump in and out, then rally everyone together for a finish-line celebration on July 4th. 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.

Well... nothing. You still get the patch. But, come on. It is gonna be awesome.
