GORUCK Challenge
I saw this online when i was looking into the PA ToughMudder as a nice alternative to a half marathon. Its run by all former SF guys And started by a former green beret (Jason McCarthy) I ran the event on April 3rd. It wasnt bad, at first i thought it may not be exactly what i had in mind alot of prior service guys but i thought it would be toned down for the older guys i saw there (late 30's sorry guys haha) but it wasn't.
The idea is a group of people 30 or less in big cities around the US, throw on a ruck with 4 bricks, camelback and whatever other supplies you bring i.e. powerbars, gel shots (about 30 lbs), and you go for a run/physical challenge its at least 10 hours/15 miles all kinds of exercises sprints with this pack and a bunch of "coupons" (heavy s*** that the instructor finds along the path and says "sure pick that up and bring it with us") all over the city.
it works on brigning everyone together as a team like any military type exercise. Sign up if you guys are interested, i loved it and i'm signing up for another one in Delaware in early May. good livin'

See I was thinking of not going until I heard that argument... Or I could just be his ruck sack.

Apparently I'm a great weight already for lunges, he just throws me over his shoulder and then starts doing them.

Ran the GoRuck in Cinci, Ohio. Here is my overly dramatized review of it, kind of a long read:
