RUCKS & GEAR Accessories

Identify your medical equipment pouches with this first aid patch.

Think back to elementary school, where Field Day was every kid’s favorite spring event. You got to go outside with friends and compete in various track and field events for ribbons or trophies. We designed this month’s Callout to be similar, but with a heaping helping of our kind of Good Livin’.

Divide your participants into two teams who will compete in several events of your choosing (a handy list of options is supplied below). And you can either designate a prize for the winning team, or let the winners pick the penalty PT for the losers. But regardless, have fun and celebrate with everyone at the end!

Details:

• Minimum 4 people but this works better with 10 or more

• Zero mileage requirement, but feel free to add a distance component if you want

• Pick a few event from options below:

• Centipede Pushups

• Each team creates a single line in the pushup position (rucks on), with the first person’s feet on the shoulders of the second person. The second person’s feet will be on the shoulders of the third person, and so on. The only feet on the ground will be the last person in line. Then both teams will perform as many pushups as possible.

• Sandbag Races

• This is a relay race where each team has a sandbag (you choose the weight), and both teams are lined up behind it. Pick a distance, and then each team sends one person with the sandbag out and back, tagging the next person to do the same. You can choose how the sandbag should be carried (Zercher carry, farmer carry, bear hug carry, back rack carry, overhead carry, etc). First team to send all members out and back is the winner.

• Bear Crawl Races

• Just like the Sandbag Race, but each team will be bear crawling out and back as fast as possible with rucks on. Remember, bears don’t have knees!

• Elephant Races

• Both teams line up in a single line, each participant bends over and extends their right hand forward and their left hand through their legs. The person behind reaches forward and holds the hand of the person in front of them, so that each team is joined by hands and must walk slowly like a plodding elephant. Both teams should be sent to a waypoint and back, the first team to return wins.

• Multi-Legged Race

• This one is a team-based version of the 3-legged race. Line up the entire team and strap the left leg of one GRT to the right leg of another GRT. Then have the entire team move forward as one big line (this will be very challenging). Either pick a certain distance to cross, or a time hack to reach a certain distance.

• Pass the Worm

• Connect several sandbags together with carabiners. Stand your teammates in a line and pass the connected sandbags from one end to the other. If your team is small, the person who started the passing runs down to the end and continues the passing, then the next person moves down so that the line of people keeps shifting and the connected sandbags keep moving. THE WORM CAN NEVER TOUCH THE GROUND. Continue this to a designated endpoint and the team that reaches it first is the winner.

• Ruck Up Relay

• Participants put their rucks into a single line and then split into two teams on opposite sides. Both teams send one person at a time to the center to pick up their ruck, put it on and run back to the line. As soon as the runner returns, the second teammate runs in to get their ruck, and so on. The winning team is the first to have all members with their rucks on.

• GET CREATIVE!

• This list is by no means exhaustive, you’re free to add any kind of physical competition that works best for your club members.

• No weight requirement, use your regular training weight

Flowers come and go. This patch sticks around.

The “Mom” tattoo didn’t come from a design studio, it came from the front lines. During World War II, American soldiers inked it on their arms before shipping out, a permanent reminder of home and the person who grounded them. It stood for love, loyalty, and the kind of strength you don’t question, you carry with you.

This patch carries that forward.

The Mother’s Day 5K Ruck isn’t about going fast. It’s about showing up. For the moms pushing strollers, carrying weight, wrangling chaos, and still leading from the front: this is for you. It’s a nod to the quiet toughness and relentless consistency that doesn’t always get a finish line but deserves one anyway.

Earn it the same way moms do everything else: one step at a time.

Earn It

• 5K (3.1 miles), your pace

• Bonus: ruck with your mom, your kids, your fur babies, or your crew

• Choose your weight (8–12 lbs if you’re just getting started or more if you are a seasoned #MotherRucker)

Genuine leather 2" x 3" patch with VELCRO® "hook" backing. Made in the USA from full grain cowhide.

For the Heavy Mile, participants will choose a weight that challenges them (60, 80, or 100 lbs) and carry it for 1 mile as fast as they can.

Want to pair your cardio with a beer (or 4)? Check out the Beer Mile here. One mile, four laps, four beers.

• Don’t pace yourself. Go all out!
• Track your time…it’s fun to track your improvement. Results definitely show if you're getting too lopsided in your training/life balance.
  
• Encourage others along the way.

As we continue celebrating America's 250th birthday, this month's Callout honors the document that transformed a fledgling nation into a constitutional republic: the United States Constitution. More than just a blueprint for government, the Constitution established a system designed to preserve liberty by limiting power, separating authority, and ensuring that no one person or institution stands above the law. We're honoring the The United States Constitution this month because it was signed on September 17, 1787 at Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

The first ten amendments—the Bill of Rights—are the keystone of those freedoms, protecting the liberties we often take for granted: speech, religion, the press, peaceful assembly, due process, and the right to keep and bear arms, among others.

Welcome to the Constitution Ruck. During this month's Callout, you'll stop at every mile to recite one amendment and complete 10 pushups; a reminder that freedom isn't just inherited, it must be understood and defended by each generation.

Over the summer, we asked kids across the GORUCK community to design a back-to-school patch—and they all crushed it. But 11-year-old Zoe’s design really lit us up. Her “Knowledge is Power” patch is available now for a limited time.

No apps. No tracking. No excuses.

This Father’s Day, we’re keeping it simple: 4 miles of rucking + one classic dad task per mile. Carry something heavy, tell a bad joke, fix something with duct tape, whatever feels right. Do it solo or with your crew. No one’s watching, and that’s the point.

Complete the challenge and earn the Dad Rucks patch:
This one doesn’t say “I ran a virtual race.”
It says: “I rucked hard, carried the weight, and still had time to mow the lawn.”

A heavy metal tribute to every dad who shows up, carries the load, and gets the job done without asking for credit.

• Ruck 4 miles Carry 30 lb or whatever heavy thing is lying around (squirmy kids included)
• Do 1 dad task per mile: grill, mow, fix, tell an epic story with zero context
• Complete it anytime over Father’s Day weekend (June 13–15, 2025)
• No virtual check-ins, no leaderboards; just you, your weight, and the job

Why 4 Miles? Because Dad said it was “about 3”… and now you’re somehow on mile 4.5. Classic.

The classic GORUCK spearhead pays homage to our Special Forces roots. Made of a durable, soft plastic that won't fade, crack, or peel.

You’ve seen the movie Predator, right? Deadly alien comes to Earth and attacks a bunch of SF dudes in the middle of the jungle. Well do you remember how Arnold Schwarzenegger ended up tricking the Predator? The Predator has thermal vision, so it can see you all the time. Well, Arnold got smart and covered himself from head to toe in mud so the Predator couldn’t find him. Do you see where we’re going with this?

Welcome to the Mud Ruck. The whole team has to get muddy at the start of their ruck, as muddy as you can (or want), and as always: cool points for being original. Then, once you’re safe from the Predator, head out. Four miles (or more) as a group covered in mud. Nothing too crazy. Have some fun and take lots of pictures!

Details

• 4 miles minimum (distance starts as soon as you are muddy)
• 4 people per group, no less
• Bonus cool points for getting muddy/unmuddy in a fun/unique way
• No weight requirement, use your regular training weight

This August, we’re celebrating the 19th Amendment, ratified on August 18, 1920. It wasn't just a political victory; it was the culmination of decades of perseverance, grit, and community building. This month, we’re taking that "Rosie the Riveter" spirit to the streets for a civic scavenger hunt.

Your mission is to chart a course through your city that highlights women’s history, public service, and the landmarks built by or dedicated to the women who shaped your com

There’s no better way to kick off the summer than enjoying some ice cold refreshments with friends. It’s even better if you’re all tired and sweaty. So this month, we are bringing back a summer favorite: the Cooler Ruck.

Plan your route and bring a fully-loaded cooler with you, filled to the brim with hydration (whatever that looks like to you). It needs to be a FULL SIZE cooler which will require a two-person carry. This means you’re going to either need fresh bodies to switch out as you go, or you’re going to end up moving slowly. And yes, we expect ALL empty space to be filled with ice. Bonus cool points for 10 miles or more!

• Minimum distance is 3 miles
• 2 participants or more
• The cooler should be a two person carry—fully loaded
• One cooler for every 8 participants
• You decide how much weight you carry in your ruck

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” –Ferris Bueller

In the 80s cinema classic, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, high school senior Ferris stays home “sick” to plan a legendary day off with his friends in downtown Chicago, while being pursued by Principal Rooney. Together, they “borrow” a classic 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder and embark on an audacious tour of the city, challenging authority and bluffing their way through an unconventional day of fun.

Welcome to Ruck Club Day Off. For this Callout, you and your team will reenact the “day off” path taken by Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron, but adjusted for your own hometown.

• Ruck distance: 3 miles minimum. Ideally, you’re looking at something more in the 5-10 mile range with a number of fun places to stop along the way, but do what works best for your city and your crew.
• Choose a few waypoints that replicate the Chicago landmarks seen in the film, but make it work for your city. Here are a few thought-starters:
  • A museum (instead of The Art Institute of Chicago)
  • A sports stadium (instead of Wrigley Field)
  • A restaurant (instead of Chez Quis) Bonus cool points if you make reservations under the name of “Abe Froman, Sausage King of Chicago.”
  • Join a parade (carry as many American flags as possible)
  • Perform a spontaneous rendition of “Twist & Shout” with some locals
  • Be creative! Tailor your waypoints to create a fun walking tour of your town!
  • Bonus cool points if you get your team photo in front of a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder!
• Use your regular training weight
• 3 participants or more
