Come join us for a Veteran's Day Ruck to honor those who selflessly signed a blank check to our country, pledging everything - even their lives. There's no better way to show gratitude than by rucking through the city and personally thanking a Vet. Grab your ruck and join us. Ruckers are encouraged to bring a photo and bio of someone who served. You'll have a chance to share their story and honor their sacrifice together, GORUCK style. Let's ruck, reflect, and remember those who gave their all.

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.

In order to participate you will need to register through GORUCK by clicking the link above.

Full change of clothes and flip flops
- It's nice to be able to change into fresh clothes after getting sweaty all day.
