A group from Rocket City 🚀 will be doing the 12 Miler! 12 Miler or 26.1 Miler - CITY RUCK
Ruck it solo or with friends
Fun ruck it or race for time - your call
This is our kind of fun and we have cold victory beers at the finish line
GORUCK is The Rucking Company and we have executed over 10,000 rucking events since 2010, empowering a global community of ruckers. The World 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
Your Cadre will give you the waypoints/points of interest that comprise your route, at the start point. A quick route navigation on your phone and then you’ll get going. When you successfully complete your City Ruck, your GORUCK Cadre will hand you a cold beer and a patch that will never be for sale.
WHAT TO BRING - REQUIRED
A rucksack (Rucker recommended) - must have reflectivity
Ruck Plate (or equivalent) in your rucksack - to your weight requirement
20 lb. Ruck Plate - MEN

RECOMMENDED (BUT NOT REQUIRED) ITEMS
Extra layers of clothing. Think: merino wool socks and a shell. Pay close attention to the weather — if it’s gonna be cold, make sure you have a windbreaker
Dry Bag (or equivalent, such as a contractor bag) for keeping everything in your ruck dry.
Supportive footwear. GORUCK recommended because it’s the best for people who carry weight and live on their feet.
Food, snacks, electrolytes — you are of course able to stop anywhere along your route to resupply.
TIME STANDARD
You have 11 hours to successfully complete your City Ruck 26.2 Miler and earn the patch. You have 5 hours to successfully complete your City Ruck 12 Miler and earn the patch.
