The GORUCK Challenge is our flagship and original team building event - we’ve led over 10,000 since 2010. At your Basic, 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. This Basic Challenge is more rigorous than the Light, but still an introduction to our way of life and accessible to all who want to join a tight-knit community of ruckers all over the world and have fun doing it. 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.
Cadre Sloth has spent the better part of two decades serving as a United States Army Special Forces Soldier with numerous operational deployments across the globe. Sloth was introduced to the GORUCK Tribe in 2013 by Cadre Dan and lives by the motto of “camaraderie built through shared hardship.” When not jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, he enjoys downtime with friends and family, sharing war stories over a grill with an occasional cold one…or two.
