RUCK FOR VETS
On Saturday, November 8, 2025, we will be hosting our second annual Ruck for Vets, a ruck walk in honor of our Veterans.
I, Lauren, come from a military family. I love our Nation’s finest and want to show them the utmost respect and support them in any way I can.
The walk will consist of 22 miles, each mile representing the 22 estimated Veteran’s who commit suicide every day. Each participant will carry a weighted vest or backpack to symbolize the packs our military carries on missions and into war. Women will be recommended to carry 10lb packs and men will be recommended to carry 20lb packs. Ruck pack is optional & no one has to ruck the entire distance. There will also be a "pick up truck" and contact number available for weary Ruckers. There will be mile markers, water/restroom stations, and t-shirts.
We would love to have you there!
