NOTE REGARDING QUARTER RUCK STIGMA: We understand that some of you are considering the Quarter Ruck an “easy” and unorganized CSAUP event. While this may have been true in the past, we have taken the constructive criticism presented in the past in order to make this a truly valuable experience. The goal is to prepare you for the GR HTL, not to simply beat you down for no reason. We are taking the combined experience of numerous GRTs with experiences in all 3 types of challenges (Light, Tough, and Heavy), along with information from HTL vets, to provide as accurate an meaningful an event as possible. While your cadre for this event are not military veterans, they will give you an experience based on the tactics and planning of such.

Your cadre are volunteers and are not responsible for you, your body, your gear, or your sanity. You understand that when you sign up for this event that you are assuming all risk. You cadre will do everything in their power to prevent injury and should injury occur they will do their best to handle it appropriately, but if you have any tendency toward litigious reconciliation then this event is not for you; please do not sign up.
