BravoZulu started as a social media page to encourage an outdoor active lifestyle and promote mental health awareness. "Bravo Zulu" is often used in military lingo to say "well done"!

As a movement, BravoZulu was founded during the Circuit Breaker period, where we started rucking as a form of daily exercise. Rucking, or walking with loaded backpacks, was not just an effective weight loss exercise but also a useful tool to keep mental health in check especially during stressful lockdown periods.

When Phase 2 started, we organised weekly walks with friends and colleagues, and it caught on very quickly as a healthy and social activity. It was a point to end every ruck with a congratulatory "Well Done" amongst the Ruckers for having challenged their own mental and physical states.

Over the months, the weekly night walks gained traction and naturally, a collaboration was formed with other stakeholders to organise a meaningful experience for the Ruckers towards the end of 2020 and it culminated in a series of rucks for a cause which is Ruck On Singapore!

BravoZulu looks forward to more regular weeknight urban rucks as well as weekend nature rucks events in 2021 and beyond to encourage a healthier lifestyle with social impact.

We will work and collaborate with local partners and charities in due course over the months and quarters to give back to society while enjoying the outdoors and company.
