Medical Issues

If you have pre-existing medical issues, contact us prior with a description and what needs to happen. We will then be in touch and our Cadre will ensure you get what you need. You will also have a medical screening prior to the commencement of Selection. Despite the near impossibility of the event, your safety is our #1 concern, always.

Don’t Be Stupid

A small note to further de-humanize us for this event. If you send a note to info@goruck.com with questions (other than medical ones) or if you PM any of the Cadre on FB, your probability of passing decreases significantly.

Selection begins at 1300 on October 9th, 2014, in Jacksonville Beach, FL. Currently 177 participants are signed up. At one point we had 278 registered, meaning 101 of them to date have decided not to show up. Good on them.
