+MPU at GORUCK 9/11 Weekend – Saturday

Gravelly Point

Over the weekend of the anniversary of 9/11, +MPU has partnered with GORUCK to participate in its Friday (9/12) and Saturday “rucking” events (9/13). Rucking is the action of walking with weight on your back.

On 9/13, beginning at 8:00 am, MPU members can sign up to participate in either of GORUCK’s Saturday morning events - the 5k (about 3.1 miles, 2.5 hours max, and the cost is $20) or the 12-miler (5 hours max and the cost is $35). +MPU members will receive a discount code.

MPU members will register through MPU and then will be directed separately to sign up for the GORUCK event(s) through the GORUCK website. Email to members to include more specific details for what members can expect to experience in each event (scavenger hunt, etc.) - will confirm these details with cadre assigned for event.
