This GORUCK Ruck Your Dog 2017 AAR was updated throughout the month of April as Watson embarked on his Ruck Your Dog adventure.
Ruck Your Dog Events
Watson has registered for the 1 mile, 5k, 10k, and half-marathon distance events! He’s pretty excited but he’s also old… maybe 11 years old. No one knows because he was picked up from an animal shelter and they weren’t sure.
- 1 Mile: COMPLETE
- 5 Kilometer: COMPLETE
- 10 Kilometer: COMPLETE
- Half-Marathon: Incomplete
Watson does wish all the pups luck who are registered for the 50 miler and 100 miler distances. He’s convinced he could have achieved that in his younger years but there’s no way he can do that now.
Ruck Your Dog Gear
Watson doesn’t ruck with much because he can’t ruck far.
Current Loadout
Watson currently rucks with the following equipment:
- GORUCK Dog Leash
- Dog Collar (with Velcro)
- Patches
The loadout is light and just enough to get him where he needs to go and back.
Glory Days
In his glory days Watson rucked with a bit more than he does now.
- GORUCK Dog Leash
- Dog Collar (with Velcro)
- Patches
- Collapsible Water Bowl
- Snack Pouch
Water and food are essential for longer rucks… both pups and their worse half need to refuel with food and water.

Conclusion
Ruck Your Dog was an awesome virtual event. Watson love it even if he’s still tired months after its completion. All of the proceeds went to Pets For Patriots which is incredible and there is no reason we won’t be signing up next year.
I would like to register for the event but cannot seem to find it on the website.
It looks like registration for this year closed already. I believe the last day to register at GORUCK was April 5th, 2018.
