What is the RED WHITE & RUCK, and what makes it so special? Imagine if a cycling time-trial and a criterium had a baby. LOL..

Created by Memories of Honor Founder and USMC Mother Amy Cotta to offer the community a challenging yet fun competition to inspire comradery while honoring our fallen service members and their families. The RWR follows a criterium-style format with a time-trial timing system. A criterium, also known as a "crit," is where participants complete multiple laps on a short course. RWR competitors run/ruck on foot with weighted packs or vests instead of cycling and try to complete as many laps as possible within the allotted time.

3-Hour Time Trial Ruck  It's a RUCK March Competition (Everyone must carry a min of 25 pounds on their person -- in either a backpack or weighted vest). The course is closed. We will have an honorary division for those wishing to walk and ruck as many or as few laps as they like.
