OUR ORIGINAL EVENT
THE CHALLENGE

The GORUCK Challenge is our flagship and original team building event - we’ve led over 10,000 since 2010. At your Challenge, you’ll have some team building fun organized by your Cadre. You will stay with your class from start to finish, you’ll ruck some miles and really get to know the other participants as you become a team. We recommend some rucksack training prior — all who do are encouraged to show up. If the weight gets too heavy, your team is there to help.

When you successfully complete the Challenge, your Cadre will hand you a cold beer and a patch that will never be for sale.
