Risen Ruck 5K GORUCK Event
The Risen Ruck 5K GORUCK Event is a faith-based community gathering held at Spring Park in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Organized by the Family Worship Center and Sua Sponte Ruckers Ruck Club, the event combines physical activity with spiritual reflection focused on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Participants can choose between two main formats over a 5 km distance:
- 5 km Ruck March: A weighted walk involving workout stations and team weights.
- 5 km Risen Walk: A walking-only option with optional participation in exercises.
The rucking category requires participants to provide their own rucksack. For adults, the standard weight is 35 lbs. Youth under 15 years old follow a modified scale: 10 lbs for those under 150 lbs body weight, and 20 lbs for those over 150 lbs. Rucks are weighed before the event starts. Completing the distance with the required weight makes participants eligible for an official GORUCK patch, depending on the registration tier selected.
The course features workout stations at every mile marker where teams perform group exercises. Each workout is followed by a short devotional lasting three to five minutes. Registration options vary, including packages with t-shirts, patches, or a free participation tier without event gear. Parking is available on-site at Spring Park.
