Each day, we’ll step off for a ruck along the sands and streets of Jacksonville Beach, from the soft shoreline to classic beach‑town routes and beyond. You’ll push your limits under the Florida sun as we move as a team through this coastal community.

Our yoga sessions are designed to keep you moving with ease, and feeling balanced and strong. Each flow will help you recover, preparing both body and mind for the next adventure.

The opportunity for connection will be abundant. From rucking the same streets and beaches where countless GORUCK Challenges have taken place to moving past familiar landmarks that hold stories of grit and teamwork, you’ll experience the heart of this community up close. You’ll also have the chance to tour GORUCK HQ and meet some of the strong women who help drive the mission forward, seeing firsthand where the gear is built, the events are imagined, and the standard is set.

GORUCK’s Director of Training and an experienced Strength Coach and Yoga Instructor with 20+ years of training & guiding others to a healthier lifestyle. Nichele has been instrumental in shaping GORUCK’s approach to movement and recovery. She led GORUCK’s first retreats to the Osa Peninsula and personally trekked the trails. Throughout the event, Nichele will be there for each ruck, leading yoga flows to keep you strong, flexible, and ready to tackle every challenge ahead.

Co-founder of GORUCK, Emily is a former CIA intelligence officer and lifelong athlete who was a collegiate runner before she discovered the benefits of rucking over two decades ago. While her competitive spirit thrives in endurance challenges, she finds equal joy in being a beginner—whether catching waves or climbing, always eager to learn from those around her. Her preferred habitat is a jungle beach, where she can soak in the beauty of nature, sip fresh coconuts, and embrace the rhythm of the great outdoors.
