’D-Day’
RUCK CHALLENGE

D-DAY - RUCK CHALLENGE.

The D-Day Ruck Patch will be woven (not embroidered) to preserve the detail seen above. Current subscribers as well as those that purchase this challenge will be entered to win 1 of 5 Rucks On Parade patches.

As you notice, some of the soldiers in the patch are shadowed and some are silhouetted. The shadowed soldiers are meant to show life. Then, once the soldier got off the boat they were silhouetted to show that many of them went straight to their death.

“You are about to embark on the great crusade toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you… I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.” – Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower

COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE.
EARN THE PATCH.

The D-Day Ruck Challenge is done best in combination with our D-Day Marathon or Half Marathon Ruck…BUT…if you’re not quite up to the distance or don’t have the time, this monthly challenge offers a great alternative.

We’ve named the 5 evolution’s after each of the beaches in Normandy: Utah, Omaha, Juno, Gold, Sword. The D-Day Ruck Challenge can be done anywhere but we would recommend somewhere sandy - like a beach.

If you are not able to incorporate water into your workout, feel free to substitute the exercise (i.e. Hydro Ruck Burpees vs Ruck Burpees)
