I rucked across america last night. Here’s one of the stops. 13 miles from Bofton.
Ruck Across America (RAA) is an old fashioned hike across America and then some. With a GR1 pack loaded with bricks and assorted goodies. Beer is optional but highly encouraged. Rucking is done by GoRuck Tough alumni and friends. This endeavor was entirely organized by GRT alumni around the country.
There is no headquarters to call or organizing body to contact. I would like to point out the organizing medium was Facebook, making this some kind of social media phenomenon. Twitter is also a decent way to follow RAA with @ruckamerica and #ruckamerica.
The journey officially started in Coronado, California on June 22, 2012 and went north from there. See the gallery and blog for the latest sitrep. Our estimated finish is in Fort Carson, Colorado, in February of 2013.
This is also a fundraiser for the Green Beret Foundation, please see our donation page for more information.
Kill Cliff has offered to help out with the Ruck Across America. For every like and mention of GORUCK or Ruck Across America on their FB page, they’ll donate to the GBF. So go like them and post something positive!
Ruck Across America
This coming September I’ll be taking part in the Ruck Across America when it makes it out to the east coast, but in the meantime there are 7 days until the Ruck begins. You can follow along on facebook (RuckAcrossAmerica) and twitter (@ruckamerica).
Remember, we are a fanatical group of Goruck Tough doing this as a team; for ourselves; with the goal of raising money for the Green Beret Foundation. No one has to participate, everyone if going out on their own - responsible for themselves - for a great cause.
