Join the UK’s first rucking and trail running event series, set in some of the country’s most breathtaking locations. Take on the trails as a trail run or weighted ruck, testing endurance, strength, and mental grit across epic off-road terrain.
Rucking (also called yomping or tabbing) combines hiking, jogging, or racing with a weighted backpack - a full-body workout inspired by military endurance training that builds real-world functional fitness.
Plus - our partners GORUCK provide the Rucker 4.0, the best ruck in the game, to all ruck participants at every single event!
