“FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS”
2-3 Hours - Our kind of family fun with rucks on
Always a Team Event, Never a Race
Led by current and former Special Forces
The GORUCK Challenge is our flagship and original team building event - we’ve led over 10,000 since 2010. At your Light, you’ll have some family friendly 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. This Light Challenge is an introduction to our way of life and accessible to all who want to join a tight-knit community of ruckers all over the world and have fun doing it.
When you successfully complete the Challenge, your Cadre will hand you a cold beverage and a patch that will never be for sale.
VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE
The GORUCK Valentine's Day Massacre event is a wild, mob-inspired rucking event where you'll tackle tough challenges, channel your inner gangster, and relive the chaos of Al Capone's Chicago. Grab your gear, team up, and survive the night—Capone-style!

RECOMMENDED (BUT NOT REQUIRED) ITEMS
Gloves (1 pair) Not medical gloves, working gloves
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.
A full change of clothes and shoes/flip-flops for after the event. Apres-Ruck is much nicer in flip-flops
Supportive footwear. GORUCK recommended because it’s the best for people who carry weight and live on their feet.

As a class, you need one (1) 25 lb. class weight and one American Flag. If you’re new to GORUCK, don’t sweat it. If you’ve done an event or ten, organize with your class — it must be in compliance with Special Forces Rule #1: Always Look Cool
