I've rucked with a buddy who does all of the Go Ruck events. I'm not into paying for workout competitions but I do ruck around town with him from time to time. They have all of the official gear and claim it's very good quality gear.
He's a firefighter, ex-military, does marathons on the regular and as a side hobby does Crossfit. lol He signed up for some 1,000 mile challenge for 2018 and was at like 700 miles already in June. The guy just never stops. At any rate, he and his wife do all of these events and just did a 30 mile ruck two Friday nights ago and have like a 50-mile ruck coming up soon.
I think you can get gear close to what they use that will work but from what he says if you plan to do it regularly you'll want to spend extra to get the gear they use. He says that the packs specifically are worth the price tag if you do these events regularly.

Well, I've gotten all of my gear. I ended up buying a ruck plate from another outfit for half the cost of the one Go Ruck sells.
A group of us have done several ruck hikes with our gear, including a half incline.
At this point, other than doing a final review and packing everything, I think I'm about as ready as I'm going to be.
I ended up buying a ruck plate from another outfit, and the cost was about half what Go Ruck charges for their plate.
We start tonight.

If there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to buy a gun, there's nothing wrong with having to show an ID to vote.
For legal reasons, that's a joke.
Have fun.

Which part starts tonight? Doing an event? Which one?

Good luck and have fun!
Not sure why so many negative comments here. There are many other fitness event companies such as Spartan, Tough Mudder etc. Goruck offers unique military based events that typically have a lesson to go along with them. They employ current and ex special forces Cadre to lead the events which I feel is a good thing.
Do you need a company to arrange a fitness event in order to get out and move? Of course not. But I would have had a really hard time organizing 100 other people to ruck around Denver 50 miles in the middle of the night. The events are fun and inexpensive. I've met some really great people through Goruck. I'd encourage everyone to dig up their local Ruck Club and start getting out with them.
The gear, yeah it's expensive. But it's good gear and most of it has a lifetime warranty. They actually encourage you to get out and beat the shit out of it. My Goruck packs are the only packs I have that I'm not hesitant about tossing around. They packs also work really well for what they're intended to be, a piece of workout gear. I can secure massive amounts of weight in it and then toss it around during workouts and rucks.
Have fun! And let us know how it turns out for you.
i’ve thought of doing some of these myself. I just spent 4 days over the last two weeks hiking a full back pack up and down a mtn chasing elk. Was fun but doing this with a large group of like minded people would probably be fun as well.

It is a ton of fun! I would highly recommend signing up for an event and checking the Goruck site for a local ruck club. Most clubs are meeting once a week for a ruck / workout.
