– Oklahoma City National Memorial
On 19 April, 1995, a domestic terrorist parked a Ryder rental truck filled with explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. When he detonated it, 168 innocent men, women, and children died. GORUCK Oklahoma City Events will memorialize and honor those who were lost and those who survived 25 years ago. We will ruck to the memorial and visit other key locations that honor the sacrifices that tragic day.

Ranger Kurth is a native Texan and calls Houston home, where he manages a sports bar downtown. Being a full time night crawler, single & no kids, allows him plenty of time to be creative with his GORUCK event planning. So expect some old school Ranger Rucking.
