Leaderboards · August 2026
Effort compared with effort
Absolute haul rewards being big. These boards also ask what the walk cost you — so a 60 kg walker under 20% of bodyweight can out-rank a 100 kg walker under the same absolute load.
Haul divided by bodyweight. Rewards what the walk cost you, not how big you are. Needs a bodyweight on your profile.

This board needs a bodyweight on your profile to work out haul per kilo. Add one in your account settings.
device-verified hand-entered — both count, both are marked. Strava-sourced rucks are excluded from every board by their API terms.
How the boards work
Why there is more than one board
A single leaderboard ranked on total haul quietly becomes a leaderboard of body mass. A 100 kg walker carrying 20 kg is moving 120 kg down the trail; a 60 kg walker carrying the same 20 kg is moving 80 kg, and is working considerably harder relative to what they have. Rank those two on one list and the second one stops entering.
So the boards ask different questions. Overall asks who moved the most weight the furthest. Weight class asks who did it under a heavy pack. Per kilo of bodyweight asks what the walk actually cost you. Age group asks it again among peers.
How weight classes are decided
Your class comes from the distance-weighted average load across the month, not from your heaviest single ruck. Under 10 kg, 10 to 20 kg, and 20 kg and up. Weighting by distance means a 14 km walk under 18 kg counts for more in that average than a 4 km stroll under 8 kg — which is what you would expect if you described your own month out loud.
The class is recalculated as the month goes on, so loading up in the second half moves you.
What counts, and what does not
Rucks synced from a Garmin or uploaded as a FIT or GPX file are marked device-verified. Rucks typed in by hand also count, and carry a different mark. Both appear on boards; nobody has to pretend a manual entry is a device record.
Rucks imported from Strava never appear on a public board. Strava's API terms permit showing that data only to the person it belongs to, so those activities power your private stats and stop there.
Boards reset monthly
Every board covers the current calendar month and starts again at zero. That is deliberate: an all-time board is won once and then discourages everyone who arrives afterwards, whereas a monthly board is winnable by whoever shows up this month.
Your own history is never reset — it is all on your profile and in your log.
Common questions
Why am I not on the leaderboard?
Two likely reasons: your profile is private, or you have not logged a ruck this month. Profiles start private by default — turn on public visibility in account settings to appear. The per-kilo board additionally needs a bodyweight on your profile.
What is a good monthly haul?
For someone rucking twice a week at 8 km under 15 kg, roughly 950 kg·km a month. Two or three hundred is a real start. Over a thousand means you are rucking most weeks, or carrying heavy.
Does hand-entered data ruin the boards?
It is marked, so you can always see what you are looking at, and implausible entries are automatically flagged for review. Rucking is unusually friendly to manual entry — distance, time and pack weight is genuinely the whole activity — so refusing it would exclude honest people to inconvenience dishonest ones.
Can I compete in imperial units?
Yes. Switch the toggle in the header and every number becomes lb·mi. Rankings are unaffected: everything is stored metric and converted only for display, so the boards never compare two different units.
