More info1Inspired
by the most elite training offered to Special Forces soldiers, the
GORUCK Challenge is a team event and NOT a race. Routes showcase the
best of every city we visit and allow the GORUCK Challenge cadre to test
each Challenge takers teamwork skills and ability to persevere under
conditions of mental and physical exhaustion. Classes are small (max
30), camaraderie is high, smiles are always plentiful, and teamwork is
paramount.Here's the deal2Everyone will run the Challenge with a GORUCK
backpack. You have a few options regarding which bag you get to
use.Option 13Those eager to take a brand new GORUCK bag through the
Challenge and break it in yourself can pre-purchase the bag of their
choice at 30% off retail when registering online. This discount applies
ONLY to the bag, not the registration fee. Your new bag will be waiting
for you at the starting point. It will NOT be delivered to you prior to
the Challenge. You may also pre-purchase a TAC Hat for $20. It also
will not be shipped prior.Option 24You can choose from the bags
available at the start of the Challenge. Some may be new, some may be
already distressed from past Challenges. Unless you pre-purchase the bag
of your choosing, we cannot guarantee that you will get to use your
preferred bag.Option 35Not surprisingly, weve seen some pretty strong
emotional attachments develop between Challenge takers and the bags they
use on this epic adventure. If you did not pre-purchase a bag but end
up wanting to take a Challenge bag home with you, you can take your
distressed bag for 20% off. We'll bill you when you get home.For one week after the event, you will be eligible for 15% off a brand
new bag. The promo-code for the discount will be emailed to your class
the Monday after your Challenge.NOTE6The purchase of a GORUCK bag is NOT
mandatory though they are central to the experience of each Challenge
taker. Bags that are not purchased are re-used in future Challenges.Who
is the Challenge for?7Its not for everyone, but successful Challenge
takers include a broad range of adventure seekers. If you have serious
concerns or need much more information on how to prepare, its probably
not for you. Our aim is for everyone who takes on the Challenge to
finish, but we will not talk you into signing up. The obstacles you face
are all mental, so those who do the best come with some physical base
and a positive mindset.In legal speak8The GORUCK Challenge is not for
reasonable people. It is an unreasonable undertaking in terms of the
risk you are assuming. While past injuries have been at a minimum,
physical strains are extreme and you will have to sign a death waiver
prior to beginning the Challenge.***9Additional details are NOT
forthcoming. The distance, events, and time to completion are at the
discretion of the cadre. The ultimate test is mental, but physical
demands are extreme and the Challenge is not for everyone. Those who
make it share a bond well earned. You simply have to experience it for
yourself.
