Rucksack sport:
Using a Backpack aka Rucksack aka ‘Ruck’ for physical training (PT) by filling it with weight to carry and lift, push, pull or move it around.
Munich Rucking Crew:
We do workouts every Thursday in and around Munich to be ready for all adventures ahead. The community and team are most important. Walking with a heavy rucksack (rucking) and physical training (pt) enable us to be fit for hiking, climbing or ski touring in the mountains as well as challenges in our everyday life.
VISION:
I love adventures! And I love hard challenges and doing crazy things. For this I need a very diverse Training to be fit for every Adventure, Challenge and Trip. Join me every Wednesday to train together and get fit together for what ever you have as a Challenge for you. Let’s inspire each other and go out for Adventure as a Team.
GORUCK:
A company leading endurance events with a team building and leadership approach and producer of high quality gear for the sport of rucking like apparel, rucksack and training equipment.
You are stronger than the mountain! Conquer it! Whatever it might be. Get yourself some help and motivation. Do it as a team. You are the mountain!

Kris
I want to get more out of my life. And I do not want my body or mind to be a barrier. Thats why I train at my limit to broaden my horizon and do the crazy stuff I want to do. I love to interact and support people. That is why I founded the MRC. To share my knowledge and passion for adventures and to train for it collectively.
Disclaimer [STILL IN PROGRESS]
We actively distance ourselves from any gender racist war and aggressive anger… although we do participate and host memorial and historical events because we believe to preserve the peace times you need to remember the worst days to make sure there is not this happening again.

RUCK•ING [VERB]
Walking with a weighted rucksack (aka backpack). It implies action, energy, and purpose. Rucking requires strength, endurance, and character – and builds it, too.
Rucking is Cardio
Cardio for people who think running sucks. If you want to burn up to 3X as many calories as walking, ruck instead. Your heart pumps faster to get oxygen rich blood throughout your body, increasing circulation. And you can talk to your friend, who’s rucking right next to you.
Rucking is Stupid Simple
You wear a backpack, walk, it’s a fitness thing. And you’re already doing it. Hiking is rucking in the mountains and urban hiking is simply called rucking. Rucking can be done at any weight.
Rucking is Scalable
The weight adds resistance training to your back and shoulders, your glutes and legs with every step - resulting in strength gains without the bulk. Want more? Up the weight, increase the distance, or go faster.
Health & Science
Do you want to… Be more active? Burn more calories? Get stronger? Improve your posture? Have a healthier heart? Walking is not enough and it sucks to run. Rucking is the path.
Military Roots
Rucking is the foundation of Special Forces training. Green Berets are well versed in shouldering heavy rucks through cities, mountains, jungles and deserts, in war and in peace – alone when they must, together whenever possible.
Rucking at GORUCK Events
GORUCK’s Special Forces Cadre have led thousands of rucking events since 2010 - we’ve garnered feedback and testimonials from hundreds of thousands of people of all walks of life: men and women, military and civilian, young and old, black and white and the list goes on. For us, research is purely academic unless it’s proven in the real world by a diversity of people. GORUCK Events have offered us a rucking laboratory, and in that process our community of ruckers grows stronger by the day. Team challenges and all sorts of exercises we learned throughout the time of training for
