Gearing up for the weekend

This Saturday is the beginning of the second April T3!  The class size is larger and the anticipation is incredible!  Starting at 9 est, 12 people will embark on an insane 15 hour long set of trials that will test every aspect of their minds and bodies.  Will they all emerge with their red R and be forever included into our exclusive team of elites?  Follow our live updates to find out!

Congratulations to our new elites!

After 15 hours and 10 minutes of pure fun, 7 teammates came home with a patch that signifies their entry into a small and very elite group of athletes.  Of those 7, 3 were new to the team while the other 4 decided to come back for some lovely continuous learning.  Big congratulations to Nate, Greg, Kris, Donna, Missi, Robert and Scott for their amazing accomplishment!  

In two weeks time, we're going to see another team attempt the same daunting task.  If you'd like to catch up on what happens at a T3, be sure to check our live updates page.

T3 Classic begins TOMORROW

Our team's most celebrated event is happening tomorrow!  There are a total of 8 aspiring and returning elites that wish to earn their R and etch their names into the halls of legends that mark our team elites.  You can watch the action through our live updates page all throughout the day tomorrow!  

Three elites finish HTL

Those in the GORUCK community are all too familiar with the daunting task of completing a GORUCK Heavy, let alone a Tough and Light immediately afterwards.  Yesterday, of the 14 who made it to the end, three were Regiment Elites.  We're incredibly proud of you all!

GoRuck Heavy / 24hrs and 35 miles
GoRuck Tough / 14 hrs and 17 miles
GoRuck Light / 4hrs and 6 miles!
44 hours and 58 miles completed!

Perks revealed!

As is customary for the T3, once a registration threshold has been reached, the perks shall be unveiled.  The T3 in the past did not have bad perks, which means only good perks will be available at this event (this is a good thing).

There will be a separate perk list for each class to utilize.

It begins

As promised, when the first 5 register for either T3 the pregame challenges will officially begin.

As of this morning, that number has been reached.  Let the games begin.


This will be the shortest time window of challenges before the actual event, so expect multiple challenges to be posted at the same time.  If you'd like to follow the challenges or perhaps take part in these challenges yourself, head over to the T3 Live Updates page!

Not one... but TWO T3s!

So we had a crowd of people request the original April 30th T3 get moved to April 16th.  Once that happened, another crowd suddenly came out of the woodwork saying that they wanted to register, but they could only have made it to the one on the 30th.  

Well, we've got both crowds covered, now.  

We're going to be going all out this time and we're going to host TWO T3s just weeks apart from each other!  Same place, location and time of the day.  

The importance of squats and their proper form

We're a big fan of the all-in-one Lifehacker guides that frequently get posted, and this one is no exception.  Squats are one of the most stressed-upon exercises when it comes to completing big OCR events, especially the ultra beast.  It's easy to mess them up, however.  

Fortunately for us, there's a handy little guide that takes care of that.  It's definitely worth the read!

The latest T3 has officially been announced!

It's here!  Our hallmark event is FINALLY HERE!  This time we're going back to our roots in the CLASSIC edition.  This event will have classic pricing, too!  For $39 you can embark on a 12+ hour event led by a regiment elite cadre.  Here is the rest of the info:

70 people hold the coveted rank of elite in Team Regiment. Do you have what it takes to earn your red R and join the ranks of these elite members?  Whether you think you can or cannot, you're right.

The T3 is an 12-15 hour, 15+ mile team-building ruck, run, and obstacle event that is divided into five themed laps that train, test and challenge every aspect of your mind and body. This event is designed to prepare you for big events like GORUCK Heavy, Spartan UltraBeast, World's Toughest Mudder and other similar high-caliber events out there. Think of it as a sampler dish with various elements of big events put into one big training event.  Sound like your cup of tea?  The trials you will endure are as follows:

Lap 1 - Water challenges

Lap 2 - Feats of strength

Lap 3 - Feats of endurance

Lap 4 - Feats of camaraderie

Lap 5 - Feats of intellect

 

Aspiring elites are expected to bring a backpack/ruck consisting of at least 18% body weight (we'll have a scale), a headlamp and some clothes to get wet and sandy in.  You will be provided with food and drinks after every lap is completed, but you're welcome to bring your own creature comforts with you if you so desire.

 

Those who make it to the end (people have and will quit) will receive the coveted red R patch and the rare honor that only the elite get to share in Team Regiment. Nobody has said this was easy, but everybody has said it was worth it.
