Ruck March
A timed military rucking event over a fixed distance (typically 6-12 miles) with a fixed minimum weight (typically 35-45 lbs). Standards vary by branch and unit.
GORUCK Tough
GORUCK's flagship 12-hour overnight event. Standard load is 30 lbs (under 150 lb bodyweight) or 40 lbs (over). Combines rucking, team PT exercises, and load-bearing missions led by special-forces 'cadre' instructors.
GORUCK Selection
GORUCK's hardest event — 48-72 hours of continuous load-bearing movement, PT, and decision-making with no scheduled rest. Pass rate is typically under 10%. Often called the closest civilian approximation to military selection courses.
