Join us for a special commemorative ruck and hero workout honouring the Canadians who fought at the Battle of Vimy Ridge during the First World War.In April 1917, soldiers of the Canadian Corps fought together to capture the heavily fortified ridge in northern France. It was the first time all four Canadian divisions fought side by side, and their success became one of the most defining moments in Canadian history. The victory helped establish Canada’s reputation on the world stage and is often seen as a key step in the development of the nation’s identity. Today, the sacrifice of those soldiers is remembered at the towering Canadian National Vimy Memorial.
To honour that legacy, we’ll be completing a series of workouts These workouts reflects the physical and mental endurance required of soldiers advancing under heavy load. Participants will move with a ruck and sandbag, combining ruck marches, carries, squats, and other functional movements designed to simulate the grit, teamwork, and perseverance required to push forward under difficult conditions.
This event isn’t about competition — it’s about challenge, camaraderie, and remembrance. The workout is scalable to all fitness levels, and participants are encouraged to move at their own pace while supporting those around them.
Expect hard work, type-two fun, and a strong sense of community as we honour those who came before us.
