RuckMarch MMXXIII

Every March test your mettle by joining the virtual Ruck March tour. Sometimes the simplest challenges in life are the hardest, and the best. 
31 days, 31 stages, 31+ hours of rucking. (If that seems like too much, check your screen time for the last month and think again!)
One category - you versus everyone.

The brief is simple:
Every day during March 2023 there will be rucking stage based on time and weight.
Put the required weight in your ruck, walk for the designated amount of time, record it in your favourite app then upload your results to the RuckMarch MMXXIII group on Facebook. 
Prizes will be awarded for overall winners (greatest distance covered), stage winners (greatest distance covered), and patches for all finishers of the full 31 stages.
Stage times and weight required will be published here and on Facebook one week prior to the start of the event.
Hint - prepare for any possibility from 15 mins to 6 hours, and everything in between.
All proceeds will fund the ongoing administration of the free Back to Basics program for first responders and front line workers.
Thank you for your support.

  1. Competitors should attempt to carry the prescribed dry weight in a ruck for each stage (not including food/water). The competitor may use a lower weight if they are not comfortable with the prescribed weight

  3. Competitors must record distance/elevation/time in a recognised app.
  4. No RPC or vests allowed. Rucks only .
  5. Stopwatch must run continuously during each stage (Auto stop detection to be disabled, or time adjusted at the end.)

  7. Competitors must like the TimeLimit FaceBook and instagram pages and join the RuckMarch Group.
  8. Missing any stage is automatic disqualification from the competition. No exceptions.
  9. Group rucks are permitted, but competitors must submit their own screen shot after each stage.
  10. Weight and distance verification is honour based - 1000 years of bad karma and reincarnation as a tiny bug inside the gaming chair cushion for 300lb Bubba, who lives in his momma’s basement, for all cheaters.
