Welcome to the 12 Mile Timed Ruck. This kind of ruck march has been historically utilized by the US Army, and it’s an excellent opportunity to get your mind right, work on your pace, and test the gear you’ve chosen for GORUCK’s Heavy, Tough, or City Ruck events. You’ll need to either maintain a 17:30 minute pace the entire time or intersperse some ruck shuffles with your regular rucking pace in order to make the time hack of 3.5 hours. NOTE: Running with a ruck is NOT recommended under any circumstances. We suggest planning a route that is as flat as possible and avoids traffic crossings. The Details Minimum 3 people Distance: 12 miles Time Hack Standard - 12 miles in 3.5 hours or less (17:30 min/mi pace) Advanced: 12 miles in 3 hours or less (15:00 min/mi pace) Minimum ruck weight: 10 lbs. If you’re preparing for a GORUCK event, you should carry the weight listed in the event requirements. Advanced ruckers should complete it with 45 lbs dry.
