We’ve been rucking for years at CrossFit Cleveland, often as a group cool-down or AfterWOD activity.  We’ve also had a large group of our member participate in a Rucking Half-Marathon and a 20-Mile Ruck Event a few years ago.  2020 brought our first annual Turkey Ruck!

We have a few extra backpacks and rucksacks at the gym you can borrow, before deciding to buy or make one of your own.

The following information, including all pictures, is not ours, it’s taken directly from a recent email from the HQ of Rucking, Goruck, LLC.  All the links will lead you to their website.  This information was too good not to share.
