"You gotta try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it."
– James Dean
According to Irish tradition, those who find a four-leaf clover are destined for good luck, as each leaf in the clover symbolizes good omens for faith, hope, love, and luck for the finder. The even better news is you can make your own luck. St. Patrick also said (we’re pretty sure) that earning a four-leaf clover is worth a million times finding one. And that’s a lot of luck.Expect to learn the history of this quintessentially Irish holiday while carrying heavy stuff with great people. Shenanigans (that may start early) to follow.
5+ Hours. Lots of PT. Lots of miles. Details not forthcoming.
Pain is the theme of all GORUCK Challenges. Our Special Forces Cadres will ensure it’s pain with purpose by pushing individuals out of their comfort zones and building each class into a team. Train hard and show up ready. It’s worth it.
