The Risen Ruck 5K GORUCK Event is an opportunity to bring the community together in Christian fellowship while reflecting on the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This faith-based ruck march is open to all people, regardless of fitness level, and will challenge participants physically and spiritually through team workouts and short devotional stops after each mile.

GORUCK Event Format:

 • 5K Ruck March: Participants will complete a 5K (3.1-mile) ruck march while carrying a rucksack (backpack) with a prescribed weight.

 • Workout Stations: At each mile marker, teams will complete group exercises to reinforce teamwork and endurance.

 • Devotionals: Following each workout, someone will lead a 3-5 minute devotional focused on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Rucking Requirements:

 • Participants must bring their own ruck (backpack) with an Army standard weight of approximately 35 lbs dry weight (before adding food, hydration, or snacks).

 • Youth participants (under 15 years old) are exempt from the 35 lb requirement. Instead, they may carry a ruck weighing:

 • 10 lbs if under 150 lbs body weight

 • Rucks will be weighed before the event begins. Those who do not meet the weight requirement will not be eligible to receive the event patch.
