Rucking
The Rucking Division challenges teams of up to 6 to conquer the 75-mile course while carrying a ruck. From Katy, TX, to Surfside Beach, each team member takes turns shouldering weight along scenic backroads, testing endurance, strength, and teamwork. Are you tough enough to ruck it to the finish line? - 30lb ruck weight minimum if you weigh greater than 150lbs. - 20lb ruck weight minimum if you weigh less than 150lbs. - This weight includes the rucksack itself and any added weight. Weigh-ins will occur at the start and finish lines. For race integrity, official event personnel may also conduct weight checks at various points throughout the course.

The Running Division lets teams of up to 10 runners tackle the 75-mile course, trading off along the scenic backroads from Katy, TX, to Surfside Beach. Each runner takes a leg of the journey, working together to reach the finish line.
