GORUCK Special Forces Cadre leading a GORUCK Challenge Event
Always a Team Event, Never a Race

THE GORUCK CHALLENGE

Our original team building event, led by Special Forces Cadre.
OUR ORIGINAL EVENT
THE CHALLENGE

The GORUCK Challenge is our flagship and original team building event - we’ve led over 10,000 since 2010. At your Challenge, you’ll have some team building fun organized by your Cadre. You will stay with your class from start to finish, you’ll ruck some miles and really get to know the other participants as you become a team. We recommend some rucksack training prior — all who do are encouraged to show up. If the weight gets too heavy, your team is there to help.

When you successfully complete the Challenge, your Cadre will hand you a cold beer and a patch that will never be for sale.

GORUCK TACTICAL

The highest caliber instruction outside of Special Forces.
Become a Hard Target
TACTICAL TRAINING

Firearms Training and Survival events meant to prepare you for anything and sharpen the best tool you have: your mind. Our Cadre have honed their skills instructing hundreds of thousands of students in both training and in war. But this training is not about them, it’s about and for people of ALL ABILITIES who want to become more capable, competent, and confident. The knowledge you gain makes you a hard target.

A COMPETITION OF GRIT

GORUCK GAMES

By invitation only to some of the best and most proven endurance athletes in the world.
Rucking + OCR + Functional Fitness
GORUCK GAMES

Special Forces training tests athletes across a broad array of activities to ensure well-rounded strength, agility, and endurance. GORUCK harkens back to those roots in a 2-Day competition of grit that features an obstacle course, rucking, weighted challenges, running, sprinting, jumping, rowing and sandbag work. This type of competition has not been done anywhere else.
