A Dialogue Between CrossFit and Project Grit

OUR MISSION

Official Project Grit was born at rock bottom.

We know what it’s like to feel lost, trapped in addiction, buried in shame, stuck in the cycle.

But we also know this: Pain can become purpose.

Our mission is to turn adversity into fuel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Official Project Grit?

Official Project Grit is a Texas-based endurance rucking movement built on the belief that humans are made for more. We create events, challenges, and storytelling experiences that combine grit, teamwork, and history to push people beyond mediocrity.

What is rucking?

Rucking is simply walking with weight on your back. It’s one of the most effective ways to build strength, endurance, and resilience. At Official Project Grit, rucking is more than fitness, it’s a tool for growth, connection, and proving to yourself what you’re capable of.

What makes your events different?

Every event is designed with meaning behind the miles. From retracing the 75-mile march of the Immortal 32 to climbing Texas’ highest peaks, each challenge blends history, hardship, and camaraderie. We don’t just cover distance, we carry weight together, physically and mentally.

How do I train for a ruck?

Start simple: walk with a weighted pack 2–3 times per week, gradually increasing distance and weight. Add strength training and conditioning as you progress. Sign up for our newsletter, we share free tips to help you prepare.

How do I stay updated on events?

Subscribe to our Newsletter, follow us on Instagram (@officialprojectgrit), and check our Ruck Events page. That’s where we drop announcements, training opportunities, and sign-ups.

Do you do private or corporate events?

Yes. We run “Ruckshops” for teams, leaders, and organizations. These sessions combine endurance training with lessons on grit, teamwork, and leadership. Reach out to us directly to learn more.

Can I volunteer or help without rucking?

Yes. We always need support at events, from logistics to photography to cheering people on. Volunteering is a powerful way to be part of the tribe.

How can I support Official Project Grit?

You can ruck with us, donate, sponsor, or grab Official Project Grit merchandise. Every step, every dollar, every shirt helps us spread the mission further.
