We learned the way of the ruck in Special Forces and we’ve brought our passion to all people looking to lead healthier, more active lives. We’ve inspired millions of ruckers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds and beliefs, put on over 10,000 live events since 2010, and our community has over 500 independently run GORUCK Clubs all over the world — probably including somewhere close to you. Our starting point at GORUCK was a napkin sketch of a rucksack — if you’re here to get on the path, you’re in the right place.

JOIN THE RUCKING REVOLUTION
"YES, for all my cardio-haters, rucking counts as cardio. Rucking actually has an effect on your heart that’s comparable to jogging… without having to jog! Rucking also improves your all-around work capacity and endurance. It’s great for building an aerobic base or just getting your heart pumping."
- Melissa Urban, Co-Founder & CEO of Whole30
YOU WEAR A BACKPACK + WALK
It's A Fitness Thing
Rucking is the action of walking with weight on your back. It's a good source of cardio as it burns up to 3x the calories compared to walking and anyone can do it.
