Below is a list of all GORUCK Selection classes and finishers. Where available we have included links to AARs and other coverage of the people and events.
GORUCK does not provide an official class list of finishers, so this list was cobbled together by the collective knowledge of the interwebs and the nerds over on the Tough Page. If you have any corrections or additions, please leave them in the comment section.
To date, 577 people who have attempted to complete GORUCK Selection. Only 32 have finished.
