The Bataan Death March was one of the biggest atrocities of WWII. It occurred in the Philippines in April 1942 when 60,000-80,000 US and Filipino soldiers were captured and forced by the Japanese to march more than 70 miles while being brutalized by their captors.

This weekend's Challenge participants are taking on our Bataan Basic & Tough Challenges across the country, but you have the opportunity to honor the men and women on your own. During the month of April, join us for the Bataan Death March Memorial Anti-Virtual Event. You choose between the 26.2 or 14.2 mile distance and ruck wherever you live, preferably with friends. All you need is a ruck - you pick the weight. Aim to knock out the miles all together.

MACV-1: PROVEN OVER ALL THE MILES

When it came time to design our MACV-1, this generation’s footwear of choice, we wanted to make a significant improvement to footwear for ruckers -- so we did.

  • MACV-1 is lightweight -- a full pound less, per boot, than the Army issued versions.

  • 3X Support for all 3 arches in your foot.

  • Ruck further and carry even heavier loads.

“You don't ask for a lighter rucksack, you build up stronger shoulders." Truer words have never been spoken. Human beings are built to live outside their comfort zone, that we're meant to push our mind, body, and spirit to the limits.
