GORUCK Challenge Packing List

We have many athletes in our SGPT group that are training for a GORUCK Challenge.

We encourage all of our athletes to try an event like this.

Set a big gnarly goal that scares you and go after it.

From the GORUCK light to SELECTION – these events are tough and you need to be prepared mentally and physically.

Training for events like this will help you plan for goals, train daily and build discipline. This will enable you to finish strong with a smile on your face.
