WHAT IS ENDURE?

Endure is a long-distance, checkpoint-based ruck event.

With your team (ideal team size is 2-5), you will carry the prescribed weight, navigate to multiple checkpoints across the city, choose your own route, and finish within a strict time limit.

This is not a race. There is no course to follow.


Shortly before the events start, you will be given a list of locations. How you get there is up to you.


Just finish (and have fun).


HOW IT WORKS

1. Start Together

Everyone begins at the same location. At go-time, you receive your checkpoints.


2. Make a Plan

Study the map. Choose your route. Decide how you’re going to attack it.


3. Move

Checkpoint to checkpoint. Under load. Photo verification at each location to proceed.


4. Finish — or Don’t

Make it back before the cutoff. Miss the time, miss the finish.

RULES

We shouldn't have to say this. Weight must be carried at all times. All checkpoints must be completed. No outside assistance. No skipping or shortcuts. Obey all traffic laws. This is an honor-based event. But don’t mistake that for a lack of standard.
