Kill That 5K with a ruck on...
 
Then Kill a Free Beer at the greatest after-party any 5K has ever seen. 

Most 5Ks are lame cause they start too early in the morning and you don't meet anyone and you eat a banana and you leave. We believe Beer>Bananas so GORUCK 5Ks start in the late afternoon where you and your friends ruck to free beers and the greatest after-party any 5K has ever seen. 

If you wanna compete to get to the beers sooner, that's cool, too. It's called ruck racin' and no bananas await but prizes do, in addition to the free beer.

What's GORUCK?

GORUCK is when you GO with your RUCK on your back and that's rucking. GORUCK as a company has produced over 2,000 Events to date, globally. Kill That 5K is our introduction to the sport of rucking. We also make great Gear that is Built in the USA with a lifetime guarantee. Our kick-ass Gear will be discounted up to 25% (30% for military) at the Gear&Beer Packet Pickup and at the Kill That 5K event.

The Cause: GORUCK will donate $5 to Team Red, White and Blue for every paid registration. Kids allowed. Bringing all your friends is required lol.

Race Timing*:
This is not a chipped event. Chips don't let you race the person next to you, they force you to race against a clock and racing against a clock is not real ruck racin'. Real Ruck Racin' is this: your competitive class lines up together and may the fastest rucker win. Cross the finish line first, you're first place - it's that simple. You get your free beer first and you get the biggest prize. Just remember to keep it classy at the greatest after-party any 5K has ever seen with your 1st place patch on.
*There will be a clock onsite, visible to all. Or just ignore it and have fun.
