Ruck #1 — The Baseline: Establish your starting point. Your first timed 4-mile ruck sets the mark you'll chase throughout the winter. Winter Ruck Series Four events. One winter. One goal: keep moving forward. The Winter Ruck Series is a four-event challenge designed to test your grit, endurance, and consistency through the winter months. The series begins with three 4-mile rucks and finishes with a 12-mile finale, all completed under a 35 lb dry ruck. Each event is timed, giving you the opportunity to compete against the field while also chasing your own best performance. Throughout the series, you'll earn points for your performance, improvement, and participation, with the overall standings building toward the final 12-mile challenge. You don't have to be the fastest rucker to have something to chase. Maybe you're competing for the top of the leaderboard. Maybe you're trying to improve your time each event. Or maybe your goal is simply to show up, carry the weight, and finish what you started. Winter will provide the conditions. We'll provide the course. You provide the grit. Winter Ruck Series consists of 4 total rucks. 3 x 4Mile Ruck and 1 x 12Mile Ruck. The overall winner of the series wins a $500 prize
