Vice City Ruckers South Florida GORUCK Club that meets 3-4 times a month and covers anywhere from 3-15 miles. Join us for any of our events. Distances range from 3 to 15 miles.

Details will be provided in the event description on Facebook and in the free Sandlot App, which can be downloaded at https://www.sandlot.fit/. Feel free to message us with your questions. Rucking is walking with a weighted backpack or rucksack. This is usually completed as a group, with an emphasis on teamwork. Interspersed are bouts of physical training. Who can participate? Anyone! Beginners to ultra-endurance athletes. Rucking is a great social activity for everyone. A good starting weight is 10–20 lbs. You can bring any bag, and the weight can be old textbooks, bricks, a dumbbell, or a weight plate. Be creative. We also have loaner rucks (message us). All you will need to do is bring water.

Ruck Church Light
https://fistbumps.sandlot.fit/fistbump/90bdd15a-86a3-416b-af62-1cf2b21300f4

9:00 a.m. | Approximately 4 hours
Continue the morning with a GORUCK Light Challenge unlike any other—a team-based rucking experience built around Christian faith, worship, encouragement, and community.

Led by Cadre Pog, this non-denominational event will begin with prayer and an anchoring message before the team heads out together. Along the way, participants will ruck several miles, complete team-building challenges, hear testimonies, share their faith, and encourage one another.

Whether you are a committed Christian, exploring faith, or simply looking for a meaningful physical challenge and a strong community, you are welcome.

This is not a race. Everyone starts together, works together, and finishes together. Upon successful completion, each participant will receive an exclusive GORUCK event patch that will never be available for purchase.

What to Bring
Each participant must bring:
* A reflective rucksack
* A 20-pound ruck plate if you weigh more than 150 pounds
* A 10-pound ruck plate if you weigh less than 150 pounds
* At least one liter of water
* Any necessary medication
* Photo identification
* A positive attitude and plenty of ā€œsmiles for milesā€

The class must also coordinate one 25-pound team weight and one American flag. Christian flags and banners are welcome.

Gloves, supportive footwear, electrolytes, snacks, weather-appropriate clothing, waterproof storage, and a change of clothes are also recommended.

First-time ruckers are encouraged to join—no previous GORUCK experience is required. Minors may participate with a paying adult who remains responsible for them throughout the event. Pets are not permitted, but service dogs are welcome.

Come ready to sweat, worship, grow, and experience what happens when faith and teamwork move forward together.

The Ruck Church Light is a GORUCK Light Challenge with a Christian theme for everyone...a workout while you worship. Get in the word while you ruck, share your faith, and praise Jesus Christ together. Even if you aren't a believer, this is going to be a great event for you. GORUCK LIGHT CHALLENGE -....
