The Story
GORUCK EVENT WEEKEND: 9/11 (25th Anniversary) Commemorative Events 2026
"I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
– President George W. Bush, Ground Zero, September 14, 2001
The weekend before September 11, when the city is quieter and more reflective, GORUCK Nation gathers for a 9/11 Memorial Light and City Ruck Weekend.
Twenty-five years later, we’ll ruck the streets of New York together, exploring iconic landmarks, honoring the fallen, and remembering the courage of First Responders and all who served in the fight against terror.
City Rucks are built for connection: patch-earning, community-driven, and designed to show you the city in a whole new way. On this special weekend, the focus is on reflection, remembrance, and the unbreakable bonds forged when we move with purpose.
Join us in NYC for a quieter, more intimate impact before the nation floods into the city. Earn your patch. Build your community. Never Forget.
