Who Can Participate
If you're active duty, Reserve, Guard, a veteran, or a civilian looking to challenge yourself and earn a recognized foreign award, our rucks are for you. We also welcome our international military partners who want to join the challenge.
Each event is designed so you can complete it anywhere in the world, at your convenience, during the event window. You can participate as a group or go solo, either way, the experience is built for your success!
-
Refund Policy
Ruck registrations are refundable for 24 hours after registration closes. After this window, registrations become final and non-refundable because we begin the required process of submitting participant information to the Czech or Austrian Military Associations for production scheduling.
Once your name is submitted for production and verification, these organizations do not offer refunds, and neither can we.
-
When Will My Award Ship
All Czech and Austrian awards are handmade and verified overseas. Once the event window closes and your ruck submission is confirmed, your medal set enters production with the appropriate foreign military association. We pick up completed awards monthly and ship them as soon as they arrive.
Our goal is for most awards to be shipped within 10–12 weeks after event completion.
