YOU WEAR A BACKPACK, WALK

IT'S A FITNESS THING.

Rucking is the action of walking with weight on your back. Walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack) is a low impact exercise based on military training workouts.

Carry 20% of your body weight for either 20, 40 or 60 kilometers.

Everyone can RUCK!

All you need is good shoes, a strong backpack and clothes for the weather.

20% of your body weight can be anything - books, a kettle-bell, a small sack of sand. The food and water you need for the day also count towards the 20% weight requirement.

Event DETAILS

  • There are 4 waypoints: Nynäshamn, Segersäng, Västerhaninge, and Farsta.
  • The ruck starts at 6:00 with a proposed finish time of 19:30 (for the full ruck).
  • There is no race element to the event. Participants are competing  for completion within the allotted time.
  • There will only be 15 minute breaks at the waypoints. The rest of the event will be in motion (including eating and drinking).
  • There is no food or hydration served on this event. Participants are expected to prepare and carry their own.

Event RULES

  • The pace will be moderate at about 5.5km/h.
  • You will be able to choose which length you intend to finish when registering (either 20, 40 or 60 km).
