Your start point will be posted to this page and emailed to you at least one week before the event date.THE CUPCAKE CUSTOM EVENT
The Cupcake Custom is Cadre Mike Rock's swan song. His final event before GORUCK retirement. This will be an extended length GORUCK Basic (7 to 9 hours) that will probably include heavy objects, laughs, a smidgen of little men in the woods, more heavy objects, and most likely cupcakes. Trust your cadre.
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.

Meeting up to Train
Mike Rock
Army Special Forces
Iraq, Oman, Afghanistan
Mike goes by his first and middle name since you can't pronounce his last name, and he is too lazy to correct you. He enjoys long walks with random strangers, picking up heavy things repeatedly, cupcakes, and has a weird fetish with little men in the woods. He LOVES when you refer to anything other than actual US Army Special Forces as "Special Forces".
