What's a Ruck? A ruck is walking/hiking with a weighted pack. Rucking is a fundamental part of military training, involving soldiers walking long distances while carrying heavy packs. It's used to build strength, endurance, and prepare soldiers for combat. Ruck & Roll participants can use weighted packs, vests, or no weight at all!
