GORUCK Division:
The GORUCK division of the Travis Manion Foundation 9/11 Heroes Run requires participants to carry a weighted rucksack or other type weighted backpack. We welcome ruckers of all levels to join us and earn a patch, but to compete for a top finisher medal in the GORUCK division, your ruck must contain the prescribed additional weight based on body weight:
• For participants weighing 149 lbs or less, a 10-pound weight is required to qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.
• For those weighing 150 lbs or more, a 20-pound weight is required to qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.
• Weighted vests and RPC's are now allowed and do qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.
• LEOs and Firefighters in full turnout gear also qualify for the competitive GORUCK division.
• We will weigh your ruck, but not your body! Your body weight is on the honor system.
Rucks will be weighed at each event prior to the start. Rucks must be compliant with the prescribed weight for the duration of the event. Rucks will be weighed without water using the provided digital luggage scale.
• Once a ruck has been weighed and the standard has been met, document the registration check in list (highlight/checkmark they have had their ruck weighed)
• If a rucker has a weight plate that says 20# or 10# on it- you can skip weighing the ruck.
• Make sure your top 3 male and female that cross the finish are highlighted/ documented as having weighed their ruck at check in. If they did not, move on to the next qualified rucker on the list, who crossed the finish after them.
Medals will be awarded to the top 3 overall male and the top 3 overall female GORUCK finishers who cross the finish line with rucks that meet the weight standard outlined above. There are no age brackets in the GORUCK division.
Strollers and Dogs:
Strollers and dogs are welcome at the Phoenix 9/11 Heroes Run. Please be courteous of runners and ruckers by starting at the back of the start wave.FAQ:
