Pro Advice For Your First Ruck Race

You can just "wing it" at your first ruck race. We prefer tapping into wisdom that only comes from experience. Dustin Merrell is taking on his first ruck race at the Tejas Trails Cactus Rose in Texas. His fitness is on point, but there are so many things he needs to know ASAP. So, we asked veteran ruckers, Mark Jones and Ronald Tortola to come share some wisdom with the first timer.

Good luck to Dustin competing at Tejas Trails; to Mark competing at Rucking World Championship; and to Ronald competing in GORUCK Selection - all in October.
