BannerRuck 2020 - Now open!
It's SummerTime, Agents! Time for another GORUCK #BannerRuck Challenge (and a brand new patch!)! Here's how to earn the brand new #BannerRuck patch and beat the COVID-19 blues:
1. Grab some local agents or a friend that has never tried Ingress before, and schedule a date! The usual requirement is 5 people, but for safety reasons, you can now complete the event with just one buddy if you prefer.
2. Put at least 10 lbs in your ruck/backpack and load up that #Ingress mission banner you've always wanted to try. Or, make a new one! It should have at least 10km walking distance. There's no time limit as long as it's completed in the same day.
3. Post your completed adventure photos to Instagram before October 1st with the following hashes: #bannerruck #goruck #ingress Make sure to tag us @goruckingress. Include photos of the ruck, your completed banner screenshot, and proof of at least 10km walked from your tracking app of choice.
4. Fill out this form no later than October 3rd (earlier is better)! https://forms.gle/HuzJcxT2Wpeu1iE69
5. An optional "Embrace the XFAC" patch is available for $5, check here for details! https://ontariocompany.ca/products/embrace-the-xfac-ruck-patch
6. It starts today! Go get those miles!
Fine print:
1. Due to current border restrictions, patch shipping fees have increased for some and will decrease for larger groups. See form for complete details.
2. Direct any questions to @RuthShepherd or [email protected]
3. You will receive an email when patches are sent, as well as updates pushed to the news channel here.
4. Patches will begin going out on Sept 1 at the earliest, and will continue through Oct 1st as submissions come in.
5. Obey all local ordinances, curfews, and safety precautions. Where a mask where it is recommended. Prioritize safety and practice social distancing!

Yeah!
I just read this.
I would love to take this challenge. I'd finish my mission banner that left out 2-3 months ago. The distance should be enough to 10 km.
Unfortunately, i didnt know this event is up until today. Shame on me....
So, is it still on?
Nashville is holding a BannerRuck tomorrow (10/24). My mission banner is still pending review but I have two existing banners along the 10k route so looks like we're be going to plan b.
What is the start point for the Nashville Banner Ruck?
Sorry for delay responding… Just noticed the inquiry.
