what to expect

  • Always a Team event, Never a Race.

  • Ruck as group carrying assorted sandbags(20lb, 40lb or 60lb) in whatever ways you decide, as long as the sandbags do not touch the ground once the ruck begins.

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

Start the Stacked-XPO with purpose. Before the mats open and the tournaments/seminars begin, earn your patch in a gritty GORUCK-style challenge. You’ll carry weight, and move as a team through a gauntlet of physical and mental tasks designed to push limits and build community. Think trail sprints, buddy drags, sandbag carries, and tactical mindset challenges.

When you successfully complete the Challenge, your Cadre will hand you a hot cup of Freedom Bear coffee and a patch that will NEVER be for sale.

What to bring - Required

  • Rucksack (recommended loadout: 20–30 lb men / 10–20 lb women)

  • Hydration source (bladder or water bottle—min. 1L)

  • Durable workout clothes (ready to get sweaty, gritty, possibly scraped)

  • Boots or rugged shoes (for traction on concrete)

  • Team-first attitude (non-negotiable)

  • Sandbags provided by Seminar Stack courtesy of GORUCK

What to bring - Recommended

  • Gloves (recommended for sandbag work and crawling)

  • Change of clothes (nothing better than fresh socks and a clean shirt after a ruck)

  • Extra Layers of Clothing (We ruck rain or shine, keep an eye on the weather and plan accordingly)

Ruck with Purpose

At its core, Seminar Stack is about activity-driven fundraising.
We raise funds by doing the things we love — training hard, pushing limits, and building
community — all in support of the missions that matter.

The RuckStack Challenge is no exception.
20% of event registration from this endurance event go directly to our pre-determined beneficiaries.

the “earned-never-sold” patch

The RuckStack Patch is a 3-part patch to promote the three different RuckStack events we host throughout the year. The first RuckStack was on April 25th, StackedXPO on August 8 and then Short Stack on November 21.

Upon completion of your first RuckStack you will receive the center patch - After the 2nd one you will receive the top rocker - After the 3rd you will receive the bottom rocker to finalize the full RuckStack 5” patch.
