Rucking News: Research, Events and Updates from Ruckercise

Rucking has moved from military ruck marches to one of the fastest-growing ways to train. Rucking News is where Ruckercise shares new research on walking with weight, upcoming rucking events and races, community challenges, ambassador stories and product updates.

What Is Rucking and Where Did It Come From?

Rucking started as the army ruck march: soldiers covering long distances with a loaded rucksack. Today it simply means walking with a weighted backpack for fitness, and it has grown into a global community of everyday ruckers, charity marches and timed events. New to the idea? Start with What Is Rucking?.

Rucking Research and Studies

We track the research on walking with weight so you do not have to: calorie burn compared with walking and running, effects on bone density and posture, cardiovascular findings and the mental health side of time spent outdoors under load. For the current evidence, read the benefits of rucking.

Rucking Events, Races and Challenges

From community group rucks to charity ruck marches and ruck races, there is an event for every level. This is where we post upcoming rucking events, monthly Ruckercise challenges and stories from the people who complete them. Want to lead rucks in your area? Apply to the Ruckercise ambassador program.
