Where: Hollywood Casino
777 Hollywood Blvd Grantville, PA
Rooftop of Parking Garage

WHEN: Aug 2, 2025 - 7:00 AM

Stack the Weight: Ruck

  • Always a Team event, Never a Race.

    • To embrace the team and community of a Ruck event, teams will be decided during check-in

  • 3-4 Hours - Our kind of fun with rucks on

  • Complete a series of challenges utilizing all the parking garage roof has to offer: ramps, bodyweight, light posts, sandbags and more

  • Shared suffering > scoreboard. Move together, finish together.

Start Seminar Stack with purpose. Before the mats open and the seminars begin, earn your patch in a gritty, rooftop GORUCK-style challenge. You’ll carry weight, solve problems, and move as a team through a gauntlet of physical and mental tasks designed to push limits and build community. Think ramp sprints, buddy drags, sandbag carries, and tactical mindset challenges — all with a panoramic view of Central PA

When you successfully complete the Challenge, your Cadre will hand you a cold beer and a patch that will NEVER be for sale.
