CITY RUCK
- Ruck it solo or with friends
- Fun ruck it or race for time - your call
- This is our kind of fun and we have cold victory beverages at the finish line
GORUCK is The Rucking Company and we have executed over 10,000 rucking events since 2010, empowering a global community of ruckers. The City Rucking Series is a great way to join GORUCK Nation, to meet people who live our way of life, and to explore your city or a new one on foot.
HOW IT WORKS
At the start point, your Cadre will give you the waypoints/points of interest that comprise your route. A quick route navigation on your phone and then you’ll get going. When you successfully complete your City Ruck, your GORUCK Cadre will hand you a cold beverage and a patch that will never be for sale.

Change within communities begins with the support of the individual: problem-solving, decision-making, and assertiveness competencies, which will lead to behaviors that influence the attitudes and norms of the communities as a whole. With heart and dedication within our after-school and weekend programs, the Green Beret Youth Initiative STL empowers kids to make a change in their lives and communities.
