What would happen if you had to ruck two miles every hour for up to 48 hours?

That’s the premise behind Last Rucker Standing, a new endurance event created by Brad Rooks that combines the format of a backyard ultra with rucking.

In this episode of The Rucker’s Edge, Spencer talks with Brad about the creation of Last Rucker Standing, the mindset behind the event, and what competitors can expect when they arrive at the starting line.

Brad also explains how his own rucking journey led to the creation of Buffalo Mentality and Ruck 90, a 90-day challenge designed around consistency, accountability, and personal growth.
