Rucking Division
In addition to a running division, we offer a rucking division. Rucking is walking with a weighted backpack/ruck on your back.
If competing for the top 1-3 places for male, female and non-binary, you must meet the minimum dry weight requirement inside your backpack/ruck before anything else, including food and water. We recommend a ruck plate of some sort but it's ultimately up to you. Other options for weight include dumbbells, sandbags, or weight plates. Weight vests and ruck plate carriers are allowed.
- Men and Non-Binary Adults - 30 pounds
- Women - 20 pounds
- Kids - 10 pounds (Ages 8-17); 5 pounds (under 8)
If not competing for the top 1-3 places, then the weight you carry is up to you.
Course
The course runs along the Jordan River Parkway Trail and is all paved. The race is professionally chip timed. The chips are attached to the back of your bib number. Bibs must be worn on the front of you in order to be accurately timed.

Leashed dogs are OK for this race but they must stay on a leash the entire time.

The Charity Beneficiary
The mission of Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) is to enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity.
Every year, more than 250,000 active duty service members transition out of the military, joining the 3.5 million post-9/11 veterans already living in communities nationwide. They face many challenges including isolation, weight gain, lack of purpose, and other health issues.
Team Red, White & Blue is the antidote to the isolation and health challenges they face. They insist that all veterans have the opportunity to reclaim what was most precious about their military service: an unwavering sense of belonging born of challenges that show us what each of us is capable of. Together, they strive to make tomorrow better. Together, they will increase mental and physical health. Together, they will find strength and success.
