POSTIE RUCK AROUND CARLING CAMPUS

Join Us for Our Annual Postie Ruck Around Carling Campus!

Whether you're a seasoned rucker or simply looking to enjoy some fresh air and good company, join us for our annual Postie Ruck.

Event Details

Date: Friday, 2 October 2026 (Rain or Shine)
Warm-Up: 0800 hrs
Location: Grassy area adjacent to Parking Lot I

This event is open to both CAF members and DND civilian employees of all fitness levels. Our focus is on inclusivity, camaraderie, and wellness rather than speed or competition.

Come enjoy a social ruck, connect with colleagues, and get some steps in along the way.

It's not that kind of ruck!

While military members are encouraged to wear CADPAT pants and their unit t-shirt (if available), participants are free to choose their own footwear and rucksack weight.

Course Details

The route follows the trail system surrounding Carling Campus (subject to change based on participant numbers).

The ruck consists of three loops:

• Leg 1: 2.7 km
• Leg 2: 3.6 km
• Leg 3: 4.7 km

Total Distance: 11 km

Each loop starts and ends at the same location, allowing participants to leave the event at designated points if required due to work commitments or personal circumstances.

Looking for an Extra Challenge?

Participants who wish to continue beyond the standard route may complete a second circuit of all three loops.

Extended Distance Option: 22 km

Following completion of the initial 11 km route, a guided cool-down will be available for those finishing at that point, while other participants continue on for the extended distance.
