Headless Horseman Ruck

HEADLESS HORSEMAN RUCK -
VIRTUAL EVENT

The legend of the Headless Horseman (also known as "the Headless Hessian of the Hollow") begins in Sleepy Hollow, New York, during the American Revolutionary War. Traditional folklore holds that the Horseman was a Hessian trooper who was killed during the Battle of White Plains in 1776. He was decapitated by an American cannonball, and the shattered remains of his head were left on the battlefield while his comrades hastily carried his body away. Eventually they buried him in the cemetery of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, from which he rises as a malevolent ghost, furiously seeking his lost head and wielding a Jack-o'-Lantern as a temporary replacement and/or weapon. Modern versions of the story refer his rides to Halloween, around which time the battle took place.

COMPLETE THE MISSION.

The Headless Horseman & Jack-O’-Lantern are actually two separate medals. Each having its own challenge but done in combination. The separate Jack-O’-Lantern medal slides over the ribbon and rests on the Headless Horseman’s arm.

EARN THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN.

Pick a distance - 5K, 10K, 12-miler, 13.1-miler or 26.2-miler

Earn the Headless Horseman medal by picking a distance and rucking those miles under weight. How far? How much weight? Its up to you, but GORUCK recommends 20 pounds if you weigh under 150 pounds or 30 pounds if you weigh over 150 pounds.

The Headless Horseman medal is a 3" custom die-cast medal with a sublimated ribbon.

EARN THE JACK-O’-LANTERN.

Got a distance in mind? GOOD. Know how much weight your going to ruck? GOOD. Now, do it with a pumpkin. That’s correct, complete your distance while rucking with a pumpkin to earn the Jack-O’-Lantern medal add-on.
