1. Name the group
Use the organizer's real name, gym, ruck club, unit-adjacent group, team, school, or local event identity.
This is the simple intake and operating template for the first 3-5 Challenge OS pilots. Fill the basics, confirm the rules, publish the join link, send weekly nudges, then recap the proof.
Use the organizer's real name, gym, ruck club, unit-adjacent group, team, school, or local event identity.
A Monday start is easiest. Give organizers at least 5-7 days to invite people before day one.
One loaded mile per day for 30 days. Safe load. Missed days do not kill the pilot; they create a restart point.
Use the public challenge page first, then add a custom group page once a real organizer commits.
Week 0 launch, week 1 reality check, week 2 midpoint, week 3 final push, week 4 recap request.
Joined, started, completed, total loaded miles, App Store clicks, quotes, photos if volunteered, and next challenge interest.
This form opens an email with a complete pilot brief. It keeps the reply flow human while giving us enough structure to launch quickly.
We start the 30-Day Loaded Mile on [start date]. One loaded mile a day, safe load, honest pace. Download Ruck Mode, join the challenge, and get your first mile logged.
The first week is not about speed. It is about making the loaded mile normal. Keep the load safe, keep the pace honest, and do not let one missed day end the challenge.
Halfway is where the challenge gets real. Check your feet, shoulders, sleep, and schedule. One mile is small enough to fit into the day and heavy enough to mean something.
The last stretch is about consistency. Log the mile, share the receipt, and bring someone with you if they need the nudge.
Reply with your final count, one thing you learned, and whether you would run another challenge. Photos and quotes are optional, only if you want them shared.
The goal is useful proof, not creepy tracking. Aggregate counts and volunteered quotes are enough to improve the next challenge and show sponsors or organizers that the thing worked.
