1 World Trade Center
A hole in all our hearts and the origins of GORUCK. Though time has passed, I can recall with absolute clarity the rage I felt after 9/11. Soon enough our memories of Ground Zero will have a memorial, and a monument, and an anchored skyline. And when the Challenge comes to NYC, 1 World Trade Center will always be on the route. Not so much for what it was as for what it is.
$11.50 Cover for the Best Good Times in Cincinnati, Ohio
81 times a year Great American Ballpark – and every ballpark in the majors for that matter – fires up the grills, taps the kegs, and sends out an army of vendors to make sure everyone gets their fill. And everything tastes better at the ballpark, so we can’t get enough of it. As the …
Oregon: the 48th State of the GORUCK Summer

Sturgis is about a lot more than the small town of 6,000 or so, it’s about the adventure of getting there and riding the open roads in the parks when you do. While the town itself is a necessary destination, the beauty of the event is in the Badlands, on a Harley, with friends alongside. August 9, 2010 is the first day of the 70th version, expected attendance 500,000, including us.
