HOW IT WORKS:

• At the top of every 4 hours, ruckers receive the workout, to be done with sandbags and/or rucksacks. Metallica or something like that will be blasting while you do the work.
• When complete, ruckers receive their waypoints to ruck to; total distance will be minimum 4 miles.
• When you return, you’re on your time until the next workout drops.
• There are 6 total Cloverleafs (workout plus movement) that you will complete.
• When done, the party continues.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

You will be living out of the oft-used back parking lot fenced in behind GORUCK HQ. You can find some real estate there and make it yours. If it rains, you’ll probably want something to keep your stuff dry.

ROLE OF THE CADRE

This is not a GORUCK Challenge where the Cadre leads the team from start to finish. The role of the Cadre is to organize the community and give you the workouts and movements once you show up. Expect the Cadre to do all or most of the workouts with you. You choose the weight in your rucksack and in your sandbag. To challenge yourself more, add more weight.

THE WEIGHT AND THE WORKOUTS

This event is not about how heavy your ruck, or your sandbag is. It’s about challenging yourself and the community being accountable to each other.

The choice is yours.

You pick the weight on your back. Anywhere from 0 to 30 LBS is recommended. You can alternate throughout the event if you want. Your choice. You are required to bring a sandbag. Anything from 20 LBS to 120LBS is authorized. You are authorized to bring two Sandbags and switch out, if you want. Your choice.

The Cadre will be on site to motivate and challenge you to do more. But, his role is not to put you in the mud or in the ocean. That event is called the GORUCK Challenge, this is different. He will stay on the X, where the workouts go down. Then he will issue you the movement, and you’ll get off the X, go to the destination, and come back.

The workouts will begin at the same time for everyone.

We do not track your scores, though you are welcome to. It’s not a race per se. If you’re feeling under challenged, you can employ your sandbags to increase the work.

The role of the Cadre is to motivate, organize, and challenge participants. And pass out beers and the CLOVERLEAF patch, which you earn upon successful completion. It will never be for sale.
