March 2026 Rucking Challenge — The Ides | Rucking Challenges
March rucking Challenge

The Ides

Ruck 15 miles before the Ides of March.

The Challenge

15 miles. 15 days. Don't be late.

In Ancient Rome, the Ides was a deadline, a moment where fate was sealed. This March you're on the clock: put 15 miles behind you before March 15th, however you choose to split them up. Pick your tier, from Scout to Emperor, and settle the distance early. Miss the deadline and you'll face the 30-mile Exile to earn your way back.

Choose Your Level
Beginner
Distance: 15mi, split across the 15 days (The Scout) Weight: Standard ruck weight
Intermediate
Distance: 15mi, split across the 15 days (The Praetorian) Weight: Standard ruck weight + 10 lbs
Advanced
Distance: 15mi in one unbroken ruck, completed by March 15th (The Emperor) Weight: Standard ruck weight + 10 lbs
Ruck Clubs

Set a club-wide deadline of March 15th and track everyone's mileage on a shared board — anyone who falls short owes the 30-mile Exile ruck. Bulk pricing is available — email ryan@ruckingchallenges.com for info.
