Patch – Overnight Ruck

Nighttime is the right time for this month’s GORUCK Club Callout. These challenges aren’t supposed to be ALL fun, even though we definitely have a good time doing them. They also aren’t supposed to be the hardest thing ever, even though they can prove to be challenging. Our goal is to push you to do something that you might not normally do with your Ruck Club. That’s why we bring you the Overnight Ruck.

All you have to do is hold one of your rucks between sunset and sunrise. GORUCK has run overnight events since the beginning and there’s something special that happens when most people are headed home for the evening and you get the trails and the miles to yourself.

Maybe a lot of you already ruck at night, that’s awesome. Here’s where it might become challenging for you. Ruck Clubs must ruck with at least 5 people (total) and cover at least 5 miles (distance recommendations below).

This one might take a little longer than some of the others so plan accordingly, the good news is that you have until the sun comes up. Get out there, ruck up, and beers at the finish line!

THE DETAILS:

• Time: Ruck must start after sunset and end before sunrise
• Group size: 5 people minimum
• Distance: Beginner – 5 miles
  • Intermediate – 10 miles
  • Advanced – 15 miles
• No weight requirement, use your regular training weight
