Tribute to Fire Fighters

TRIBUTE TO FIREFIGHTERS

From just community members banding together, to the first dedicated all volunteer fire fighting unit established 1736 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fire fighters have been an integral part of our communities from rescuing cats out trees to the most tragic disasters, natural and manmade throughout United States history.

In GORUCK fashion let’s share some of the history that these fearless men and women have endured while establishing what is the standard by what other countries compare themselves to. Let GORUCK provide you the opportunity to learn what “Semper Paratus” means!!!

You will walk, climb, crawl and move massive amounts of weight up the steepest steps your GORUCK Cadre can find. You might even find yourself repelling out of a building or two!!!

10-12 HOURS, 15-20 MILES. THE ORIGINAL CHALLENGE. AVERAGE COMPLETION RATE: 94%
