Podzemní pochod Skutina - “Skutina Underground March”

The Underground March is a winter march held at Dělostřelecká tvrz Skutina, an artillery fortress in the Orlické hory (Eagle Mountains) of Czechia, organized by Pochodnický spolek. In Czechia, marchers tour the fortress underground before stepping off. Rucking Tough carries the march worldwide: you complete the standard where you live, and you earn the same recognition the marchers in Czechia earn.

Choose your standard, 10 km or 30 km, and complete it in one calendar day, GPS-tracked, from wherever you are. Submit your GPS record for verification. The live march in Czechia steps off Saturday, January 23, 2027.


THE AWARDS

The award is made for this march only. There are no extras or plans for a second edition - when they’re gone, they’re gone. Each numbered medal comes in its box with pin ribbon and rail ribbon bar, a decree bearing your name and route, and the Skutina 2027 patch, the white wolf of Skutina on deep red.


THE HISTORY OF THE UNDERGROUND MARCH 

In the winter of 1937, Czechoslovakia began building an artillery fortress into a mountainside in the Eagle Mountains, Tvrz Skutina. Six surface strongpoints were planned, a main gallery 1,350 meters long, a garrison of 484 men. By the autumn of 1938 only two blockhouses stood concreted. The fortress was never finished, and its underground lies cold and flooded to this day.

FAQ

  • 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.
