What Makes It Great

The ruck division covers the same 68.7-mile "100K" course as the run, point-to-point on the Northeast Texas Trail from New Boston to Paris, Texas. Each rucker carries a weighted pack: 30 lb for people over 150 lb, and 20 lb for people under. The cutoff is 27.5 hours, with the same hard aid station cutoffs as the 100K run.
