About this event

GORUCK LIGHT CHALLENGE
“FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS”

  • 2-3 Hours - Our kind of fun with rucks on
  • Always a Team Event, Never a Race
  • Led by current and former Special Forces

The GORUCK Challenge is our flagship and original team building event - we’ve led over 10,000 since 2010. At your Light, 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 Light Challenge is 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.

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

RECOMMENDED (BUT NOT REQUIRED) ITEMS

  • Gloves (1 pair) Not medical gloves, working gloves
  • Extra layers of clothing. Think: merino wool socks and a shell. Pay close attention to the weather — if it’s gonna be cold, make sure you have a windbreaker
  • Dry Bag (or equivalent, such as a contractor bag) for keeping everything in your ruck dry.
  • A full  change of clothes and shoes/flip-flops for after the event. Apres-Ruck is much nicer in flip-flops 
  • Supportive footwear. GORUCK recommended because it’s the best for people who carry weight and live on their feet.
