Local adventure seekers to hold area's first GoRuck event July 27

A group of local fitness enthusiasts will be competing in the area’s first GoRuck event Saturday, July 27. GoRuck is an event patterned after the team-based training found in military Special Operations.

Adventure seekers show up for the unknown, stuff their “rucks” with bricks, and begin an experience rarely found outside the military. Activities include running, swimming, bear crawling, log carrying, push-ups, teamwork and plenty of burpees.

GoRuck will take place in Rehoboth Beach, and cover approximately 7 to 10 miles. The team has been training with Kyle Long and Matt Carter of Quest Fitness in Lewes. For more details visit www.goruck.com

Shown (l-r) are Jay Caputo, Johanna Peuscher-Funk, Jennifer Kaufmann, Cheryl Crowe, Ryan Peters and Morgan Woodgate-Ridings.
