Virtual Ruck Marches That Earn Official Foreign Badges

I find it peaceful. It gives me time to clear my head, enjoy being outside, and focus on putting one foot in front of the other.

Brandon Philip Franklin

Maryland, USA

It’s really become a family effort and created a bonding avenue for everyone.

Ken Frank

Indiana, USA

Rucking makes me reflect, pray, and connect with God on the road.

1SG Erick Sandi

Washington, USA

Rucking is the icing on the cake for the mental side of fitness.

Robert Macaraeg

New Hampshire, USA

I do things I’m afraid of or don’t think I can complete. If you don’t try you never complete.

Sebastian Søndergaard

Denmark

Rucking helps me cope with my mental health side of things. It makes me feel good about myself, it pushes me to be better.

Tai Nguyen

Virginia, USA

I ruck because it is my therapy, I am decent at it with my long legs (I’m 6’4), it keeps me active, my son likes joining me (on rucks shorter than 8 miles), and it helps me prepare for whichever rucking event is next.

Carlos Sanchez

North Carolina, USA

Favorite ruck so far was the Austrian Virtuelle march. I had no idea what that ribbon material was going to look like. I wasn’t disappointed, it’s a crazy looking award.

Christopher Broughton

South Carolina, USA

The Ruckingtough.com originals have been a great inspiration. The WWII D-Day challenge had great history and meaning.

Kris Azevedo

Florida, USA

I like hiking new places and also if I can earn a foreign award or certificate, it gives me something to look forward to.

Christopher J. Romero

New Mexico, USA

I’ve learned that my body screams to quit long before I’ve actually hit my limit. The only way through is to let my mind take over and trust my feet will follow.

Travis Shroades

West Virginia, USA

I completed both the GORUCK 26.2 and the Rucking Tough GRIT D-Day event. It was an incredible experience and an honor to ruck where so many brave men fought and gave their lives for our freedom.

Patrick Loftus

Massachusetts, USA

Rucking Tough is a great platform for public service members or anyone to improve, maintain or exceed performance capability. Keep Rucking Tough!

Anton H.

Idaho, USA

What I loved most about the experience was how it pushed me beyond what I thought were my limits. No matter how difficult it became, quitting was never an option.

David Baran

Michigan, USA

No matter how defeated you feel in the moment, just keep putting one boot in front of the other, and you will make it to your destination eventually.

Tommy Wersky

Colorado, USA

Everything is only in your head.

Roman Vasserbauer

Czech Republic

Mental toughness, fitness, time outdoors but mostly the community/people. It’s Type 2 fun, and totally worth it.

Chris Crusius

Connecticut, USA

Stay present. That’s where the real work—and the real reward—happens.

Austen Krueger

Wyoming, USA

Embrace the suck, keep going, and set small goals that add up to the big one!

Hayley Carpenter

Arkansas, USA

The recent rucks I did thanks to Rucking Tough were all to honor the courageous people who laid down their lives in the line of duty.

Muhammad Aarib

Missouri, USA

I would say the Czech Death march. As much as it killed my body to do it, I pushed myself mentally and physically and was able to complete the SEW’s 117 km.

Jay Warren

North Carolina, USA

Rucking, especially early in the morning when no one else is around, gives me time to self-reflect and break those mental and physical barriers where I can recharge.

Daniel Morris

Tennessee, USA

I ruck to maintain balance in myself. I am extremely busy, but when I ruck, it’s my time.

Johnathan Brewer

Illinois, USA

Rucking helps to keep me in shape, give me time to pray, gives me a day/event to focus me into keeping myself around, and gives me confidence to speak about my military accomplishments which can be very hard.

Jacob Russell Foulke

Indiana, USA

It doesn’t matter how fast, strong, weak, or slow you are. We all carry the same weight for the same distance.

Justin Fanatia

Missouri, USA

A little bit of everything, mental toughness while building some physical toughness and the mindset of pushing through.

Arthur Eschenburg & Daughter

Arkansas, USA

Each ruck is a challenge, and the foreign awards are a physical item to show you met that challenge and a memory you will have forever. It’s even better when you can do it as a group!

James Tallakson

Virginia, USA

Aside from fitness, I like the quiet time to analyze life and talk to God.

Yozue Davila

Connecticut, USA

Rucking and being in nature has helped my emotional, mental, and physical health. And while the first step is always hardest; I love every moment of it.
