Pax,
As of 7/10/17, we have 45 pax HC’s (paid) for the Fort Custom Goruck Challenge 2017! We wanted to touch base and provide a brief update.

The date is set for 5/5/17, mark your calendars!

Goruck has setup a Facebook event page, we can use this for communication, training, general shenanigans:
Facebook Event Page

Here is the running list of HC’d pax: (HC’d and paid!)
List of HCs

Note our goal is to be at 56+ pax, please keep promoting at COTs and EHing guys. Other regions are welcome to join in on the fun too.

To HC, we need your email address (for communications) and send $50 to WWL via PayPal, justin.laroche@yahoo.com, its free, send to friend. note you have not HC’d until you’ve paid. There will be two more payments, $50 in late fall and the final payment in March 2017, final price will not be higher than $143/person, if we have more than 56 pax, the price per person will be less (Goruck has a fixed fee for custom events, more pax, lower price per person).

Training
We’ve already been asked about training, here’s the deal, we will organize and promote training to prepare for this CSAUP event. We will promote rucking options at various AOs throughout the region, we will use the Spearhead training program, referred to as “Pathfinder OG”, which is a 12 weeks training program to help pax get prepared for a Goruck event, the program is self performed but we will be promoting that anyone HC’d for this Challenge signup for this training program. To complete the program you will do 30 ruck workouts, 100 miles (cumulative) and 5 challenges. Don’t worry too much just yet, the program is operated in classes and starts quarterly, so we’ll do the Jan 2017 class and send out plenty of info.

Check our Spearhead’s website for further info:
Spearhead – Pathfinder Training

In the meantime, you are welcome to start rucking whenever you want, ruck a normal AO, or keep an eye on twitter for planned rucking options.

Start thinking about your ruck, Goruck is promoting their X-mas in July sales, right now Ruck plates are on sale and every Monday this month something different will go on sale, check out www.goruck.com.

There are plenty of ruck sac options on ebay and amazon as well, just talk to any pax with a ruck.

We can’t wait come Feb 2017 when you post to a normal AO and there will be more ruckers than bootcamp goers and you’ll be asking yourself, why am I not doing the Goruck Challenge!

As always, reach out to WWL or Cobra Kai with questions.

More to come soon.

Aye,
WWL/Cobra Kai
