We’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday the GORUCK way: with a heaping helping of Good Livin’!

Welcome to the Freedom 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 in addition to their ruck. This can be scaled based on the participant’s age and physical ability.

Participants are encouraged to consume 4 x 12 oz. beers (or their choice of non-alcoholic beverages) during the event. Four laps, four beers, best time wins!

Features

  • Chug a beer, then do a 1/4 mile lap. NA Beer is just fine. So is seltzer water, but we don’t recommend that at all.
  • Do this 4 times total. Don’t pace yourself. Go all out!
  • You can scale down the weight if you need to.
  • Encourage others along the way.
  • Share on social media and use #RUCKCLUBCALLOUT and tag @goruck

John ★★★★★

Signed up for the 100 lb option and honestly the weight distribution felt solid from the first step, which surprised me. The challenge really pushes you to find that mental grit, and finishing it felt like a proper nod to the 250th.

Carter X. ★★★★★

Took the 80 lb option and my shoulders feel it in the best way possible. The 250th birthday theme gives it a cool historical kick you don't get from other challenges.

Zoe E. ★★★★★

The 100 lb ruck felt brutal by the halfway mark, but hitting that mile marker with the weight off my shoulders was pure satisfaction. The challenge levels give you a real reason to push harder than a casual walk.
