Is Ruckus for me?
Will I be able to complete the Ruckus obstacle courses? Is Ruckus better than Warrior Dash? Where is a Ruckus near me? What if I’ve never done a mud run
before? Will I survive?
You’ve got questions—we’ve got answers! Below are some of our most popular Ruckus
questions that you may desperately want answered before the Ruckus St. Louis
on May 5th!
Why should I sign up
for Ruckus?
Whether you want to feel a sense of accomplishment, are in
need of a workout milestone or simply want to have some muddy fun, there are a
billion reasons to sign up for Ruckus.
According to our previous Ruckus Kansas City
survey, 58% of participants signed up for Ruckus in order to fulfill a persona
accomplishment. 41% of participants
signed up due to motivation from friends and family members and 20% signed up
to experience a fun weekend activity.
What’s your reason to cause a Ruckus?
Do I need to be “in
shape” for Ruckus?
We won’t lie—Ruckus certainly isn’t easy. But that doesn’t mean that you have to be in
marathon-shape in order to compete.
Every year, participants from ages 2 to 72 and of all different skill
levels compete in Ruckus. We also offer
a variety of different obstacle
course lengths including a 4-mile challenge, a 2-mile heater and a Ruckus
Mini.
During Ruckus Kansas City a few weeks back, we found that
37% of participants were “avid runners” and participate in one or more road
races a year (whether that be a 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon or
triathlon). 35% defined themselves as
“general athletes” who simply work out on their own and consider fitness
important.
Should I do the
4-mile Challenge or the 2-mile Heater?
Great question—and it’s completely up to you! Are you a sprinter? Check out the Heater. Looking for a little more running? Sign up for the Challenge. Our Challenge is the most popular Ruckus
event with 88% of KC participants competing in it a few weeks ago.
Have most
participants competed in Ruckus before?
As a matter of fact, no!
53% of our KC Ruckus runners experienced the crazy obstacle course for
the very first time.
What about Warrior
Dash, Spartan Run, Tough Mudder and other mud runs?
Many of our participants have engaged in these other muddy
obstacle experiences, too. 29% of our
runners had participated in Warrior Dash, 4% in Mud Run, 3% in Tough Mudder and
2% in Spartan Run.
Will Ruckus take
place near me and how should I arrive?
Ruckus is currently taking over five different cities across
the U.S. including St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh, Columbus and Kansas
City. A majority of participants travel
30 minutes to one hour to participate in Ruckus and usually arrive with friends
in tow.
Keep in mind that not everybody
that comes to Ruckus has to run! We have
outstanding spectating capabilities as well.
In fact, 77% of spectators thoroughly enjoyed watching Ruckus Kansas
City a few weekends back.
So, should I take the
plunge?
We think so! If
you’re passionate about fitness, enjoy a challenge or want to bond with friends
and family, Ruckus is the best obstacle course for you.
And if that doesn’t convince you enough, take a look at the
numbers: 78% of KC Ruckus runners plan to sign up for the 2013 Ruckus Kansas
City obstacle course! Another 92% of
participants would encourage friends, colleagues and family members to
participate in future Ruckus events.
So
what are you waiting for? Sign up now!
