2027 CAMP TOCCOA CHALLENGE

TEAMWORK. HISTORY. PERSEVERANCE.

APRIL 10, 2027 | TOCCOA, GEORGIA

THREE MILES UP. THREE MILES DOWN.

During World War II, Camp Toccoa served as a training ground for thousands of American paratroopers preparing to fight for freedom in Europe.

Among them were the soldiers of the legendary 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

Their proving ground was Currahee Mountain.

In April 2027, we're returning to Camp Toccoa for a unique GORUCK Basic Challenge that combines American military history, physical fitness, teamwork, and the legendary six-mile Currahee ruck.

THIS IS A TEAM EVENT. NEVER A RACE.

Led by current and former U.S. Army Special Forces personnel, the Camp Toccoa Challenge is designed to introduce participants to the goruck.mommunity while honoring the American paratroopers who trained on this historic ground.

CADRE DAN

Cadre Dan….Jason McCarthy handed Dan his first GR1® in February of 2011 full of bricks wrapped in a towel. Since then Dan has been pounding pavement and building better Americans as Cadre for GORUCK. Every once in a while, he comes up with a half decent idea that GORUCK uses to keep Dan happy. Fueled by Copenhagen, Coffee and pure aggression (staples in 3rd SFG) Dan loves storytime during events and doing anything outside.
