<p><em>“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” –Ferris Bueller</em></p> <p>In the 80s cinema classic, <em>Ferris Bueller’s Day Off</em>, high school senior Ferris stays home “sick” to plan a legendary day off with his friends in downtown Chicago, while being pursued by Principal Rooney. Together, they “borrow” a classic 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder and embark on an audacious tour of the city, challenging authority and bluffing their way through an unconventional day of fun.</p> <p>Welcome to <strong>Ruck Club Day Off</strong>. For this Callout, you and your team will reenact the “day off” path taken by Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron, but adjusted for your own hometown.</p> <h6>Details</h6> <ul> <li>Ruck distance: 3 miles minimum. Ideally, you’re looking at something more in the 5-10 mile range with a number of fun places to stop along the way, but do what works best for your city and your crew.</li> <li>Choose a few waypoints that replicate the Chicago landmarks seen in the film, but make it work for your city. <strong>Here are a few thought-starters:</strong> <ul> <li>A museum (instead of The Art Institute of Chicago)</li> <li>A sports stadium (instead of Wrigley Field)</li> <li>A restaurant (instead of Chez Quis) Bonus cool points if you make reservations under the name of “Abe Froman, Sausage King of Chicago.”</li> <li>Join a parade (carry as many American flags as possible)</li> <li>Perform a spontaneous rendition of “Twist & Shout” with some locals</li> <li>Be creative!
