NOEQL Training Co. 1703 N 24th St, Tampa, FL 33605

Ben Bunn (Green Beret and NOEQL Owner) is a dear friend for over a decade. This is a long string of meaningful events we’ve done with him and his team.

It’s our kind of fun — Tampa style.

HERE’S THE DEAL
Join any City Ruck to get in on Saturday’s Ruckapalooza. The weekend kicks off with a free WOD on Friday.

THE FLOW - DAY BY DAY

  • Friday October 2nd - Start the weekend off right

    • 6pm - MOG MILE WOD - free - but it won’t cost you nothing, you have to earn it.

  • Saturday October 3rd - CITY RUCKS - KICKOFF TIMES (show up 30 minutes prior to check in)

    • 6am - 26.2 Miler (11 hour time cap >> 5pm)

    • 9am - 12 Miler (our most popular distance)

    • 9:30am - 5K - (then roll right into Ruckapalooza)

  • RUCKAPALOOZA 10am - 6pm+

    • MOG MILE WOD will be run periodically throughout the day / Saturday to earn the patch. This will require a quorum, and we are good at encouraging a quorum.

    • Beer Mile - All Day Activation

    • Keg Challenge - All Day Activation

    • Sandbag Burpee Cornhole - All Day Activation

    • Fire & Ice (contrast therapy) - All Day Activation

Ruck Race Meets Scavenger Hunt

CITY RUCKING SERIES

GORUCK is The Rucking Company and we have executed over 10,000 rucking events since 2010, empowering a global community of ruckers. The City Rucking Series is a great way to join GORUCK Nation, to meet people who live our way of life, and to explore your city or a new one on foot.

How it works:

  • A GORUCK Cadre will give you the waypoints that comprise your route
  • You'll have time for some quick route navigation before stepping off
  • Ruck it solo or with friends - up to you!
  • Refuel anywhere you want along the route
  • When you successfully complete your City Ruck, your Cadre will hand you a cold beer and a patch that will never be for sale

  • Movement, recovery, and hang out backyard-style with GORUCK
  • Plus a free beverage (or more…you’ll see)

No pressure. Just good vibes, try new things, and that gotta earn them all energy.

Fitness & Fun

RUCKAPALOOZA Activations

1 mile, 100lbs, 4 beers. Chug, ruck, repeat. Go all out and have fun with this heavy challenge. Scale the weight and get after it! 

YOGA For Ruckers

GORUCK-style yoga for mobility, durability & recovery. Loosen up and rebuild so you can move strong and get back after it!

SKI RUCK CHALLENGE

Max-effort SkiErg challenge performed under load. Wear a ruck and ski for max calories as fast as you can. Simple. Heavy. Unforgiving. Capacity over comfort.

SANDBAG BURPEE CORNHOLE

Earn your throws. 10 sandbag burpees, then score big while your lungs are on fire. A fast, competitive & deceptively hard challenge.

KEG CHALLENGE

Master the awkward, unstable keg. Grab a buddy, share the weight, and don't drop it. Teamwork, grit & a little suffering required.
