Go Ruck Challenge

[Bigrax82]

Has anyone heard of the Go Ruck Challange? I am going to to it this Spring and figure it will help keep me in shape. It calls for a 20+ mile "tour of your city" with a 40 lb pack.

I was looking at it the other day.  Do you have to use one of his ruck sacks or can you use your own pack?

You can use any pack you want - only catch is I hear that if the straps break then you carry it the rest of the way.

Well I wouldn't be worried about that with my mystery ranch.  But twenty miles seems a little insane.  And it's not just walking, in the pictures they were doing pushups and a bunch of other excercises with packs on

Yea, it involves other physical/team building stuff beside walking. Can't me much worse then basic training.

Sounds fun.
