The GORUCK Monthly Rucking Challenge for July has been announced! This month the challenge benefits the Navy Seal Foundation.
Like last month’s rucking challenge this challenge, called the Honoring Our Warriors, has three different tiers to shoot for: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
The requirements to achieve these tiers are a combination of workouts and miles. The bronze patch required 25 miles and 3 beginner workouts, the silver patch is 50 mile and 3 intermediate workouts, while the gold patch is 75 miles and 3 advanced workouts.
Checking out the workouts they definitely seem like they’ll be challenging and some will take a bit of time.
One unique factor is that each workout has a requirement tied to them. My guess is that some people will be getting a little creative here when finding a sand pit or beach.
All of the patches this time around (like last time) cost money with that money going to the Navy Seal Foundation. The Bronze patch is $25, Silver is $50, and Gold is $75.
There are shirts available again as well for $25 with the patch design on the front and gold GORUCK Spearhead on the back.
If you’re signing up I’d love to hear what goal you’re shooting for and where you’ll be getting wet and sandy for these workouts!

How many times a week do you prachtige thuis challenge
Brian ADR says
I’ll toss them in as workouts but I don’t do the full series of 3 often. There definitely good workouts to have around if you’re looking for something to do!
Steven form Belgium says
Thank you very much for the answer

Not a timely reply, so consider this an “after action report.” I’m new to this (just got my rucker and weights during the Christmas in July sale) so I did the bronze level. Not to make anyone jealous, but I didn’t have to get creative at all—used Dania Beach and Lauderdale By The Sea for beaches (both near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Got some weird looks, but still wasn’t the strangest person on the beach : )
Brian ADR says
Those views look absolutely amazing!
David says
Perhaps this is a newbie question, but what exactly is a “ruck drag”?
Brian ADR says
The bear crawl ruck drag is the ruck on the ground while you’re over it in a bear crawl position then as you bear crawl forward you drag the ruck with you. You have to be very, very careful where you do this (grass is decent or a mat) because dragging on concrete can do some damage on a pack. Hope that helps!
David says
Got it, yeah that makes sense. Thanks!
Brian ADR says
No problem, glad to help!
