Give a Ruck

This is a Ruck event to honor our Veterans. Rucking is simply walking with a weighted backpack, like the marches that are such an integral part of military training. You will don your backpack and march in Honor of, or in Memory of, a veteran in your life. Your race bib will have a blank line on it for you to write in the name of the Veteran whom you are walking in Honor or in Memory of.

You will select between the one-mile, five-mile, or ten-mile march or a team category. You can choose any type of weight to put in the pack, but we would like to suggest items to be donated to our homeless community. Some items to consider are hygiene essentials, sunscreen, bug spray, minor first aid supplies, wipes, ready to eat meals/foods that do not have to have utensils to open or require cooking or bottles of gatorade/water. We provide the aforementioned items to the homeless on the second Saturday of every month identified as “Operation Stand Down.” This ruck event can be classified as an endurance event, a walk or a fitness event but we like to think of it as an opportunity to Honor our Brave by walking a mile–or ten– in their boots.
