Ruck Around the Lake Weighted Race

The Ruck Around the Lake Weighted Race is a unique endurance event held at Rockland Lake State Park in Congers, New York. Participants carry a chosen amount of weight in a ruck, weight vest, sandbag, or similar gear while completing laps around a 3-mile course. The race lasts up to eight hours, and competitors can complete as many laps as they wish within that time.

Scoring is based on "Kz," a measure of pound-miles calculated by multiplying the weight carried by the lap distance. Racers strategize between carrying heavier loads or moving faster to maximize their score in this challenging and flexible race format.
