Epic 10k Ruck Series
Rucking & Trail Running Events in Bristol & the South-West
What is Rucking?
Rucking (also known as yomping or tabbing) is essentially racing, jogging or walking with a weighted backpack. The sport has its origins in military-style training and is an incredible way to build real-life strength, endurance and functional fitness!
The Epic 10k Ruck Series is the first of its kind in the UK, taking place at three unique locations in 2025, with our carefully designed 10km routes taking you through trail, mountain, and beach-focused settings, delivering a diverse and exhilarating ruck running experience.
Designed for all skill levels, our ruck series combines one of the most popular trail running distances—10 km —with various weighted ruck categories to suit everyone, from seasoned ruckers to first-timers looking for a new challenge.
The Trail Running Category
Alongside our ruckers, we also host a trail running category at all of our events, offering a unique experience for runners that thrive on the challenge of off-road terrain.
Whether you’re an experienced trail runner seeking a competitive race or a recreational runner eager to embrace the excitement of a new adventure, our routes are designed to push your stamina, agility, and focus. With varying terrains, challenging elevation changes, and breath-taking views, each course promises to inspire and test your limits.
