About this race

What better way to celebrate the Signal Corps Birthday (21st of June 1860) than with a Manpack (Ruck) March! Sure, not everyone is going to have a manpack at home, so just strap on your ruck or backpack and load it up. Shoot for a target of 30 pounds dry (no consumables) but do whatever works for you. The distance is 18.60 kilometers (that’s 11.558 miles). Think you can beat this old Signal SGM? Strap on your LPCs and show me! Want to step up the challenge even more? How many contacts can you make while on the move? Complete your march and log your time on the honor system back here on the website.
