RUCK•ING [VERB]

What is Rucking?

Rucking is just walking with weight on your back. It’s that simple. Walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack) is an amazing way to build muscle, burn calories, and is 3x easier on your knees than running.

Since 2010

GORUCK Events

GORUCK Events began in 2010 as the proving grounds for all our gear, and quickly evolved to focus on the participants rucking the gear. No matter the difficulty of the event, we apply our lessons learned in Special Forces and challenge people to prove that they’re capable of more.

The Rucking Company

We’re the original rucking company — we built the first gear and community around carrying weight with purpose. Our roots are in service, specifically in the Special Forces and Intelligence Community, but our mission is simple: make tough gear that lasts and bring people together through shared adventure.
