TEAM ASSESSMENT 2026
APRIL 23 - 25
48+ HOURS, 80+ MILES. THE TOUGHEST TEAM ENDURANCE EVENT IN THE WORLD. AVERAGE PASS RATE: < 2%
Team Assessment is a 48+ hour, two-person team endurance event. You and your teammate will compete head-to-head against other teams in a continuous series of physical and mental challenges led and enforced by GORUCK Cadre.
This is not a race. This is an assessment.
HOW IT WORKS
Male & Female Divisions
Our Cadre enforce a strict standard rooted in Special Forces Assessment and Selection. Teams that fail to meet the standard at any point may be performance dropped at Cadre discretion. Team Assessment begins with a gear inspection and PT test.
The winning team earns the Team Assessment Champion Patch. All other Finishers earn the Team Assessment Finisher Patch. These patches are never for sale.
The Phases
- Phase 1 Administrative
- Phase 2 PT Test
- Phase 3 Gateways
- Phase 4 Culminating Exercises
- Phase 5 Patches & Ruckoff
PT TEST
The GORUCK PT Test is the first event of GORUCK Team Assessment. Participants must meet the minimum standards to continue through the rest of GORUCK Team Assessment.
Each team will be evaluated on the following movements: hand-release push-ups, sit-ups, and a timed 12-mile ruck. Repetitions may be split between partners at your discretion. Teams must stay together for the entire 12-mile ruck, no exceptions. If you fail the PT Test, your team will be eliminated from Team Assessment.
