Ruck for a Cause

DATE CHANGE from May to August 8th, 2026.

Join us for Ruck for a Cause, a meaningful community ruck that brings together veterans, families, and supporters of all experience levels for a walk with purpose.

Participants will carry a weighted backpack (“ruck”) while walking a designated route. Rucking is about connection, resilience, and moving together, not speed or competition. Whether you’re honoring a veteran, supporting our mission, or simply looking for a new way to challenge yourself, this event is designed for everyone.

Carry what feels right for you, go at your own pace, and be part of a community that shows up together.

Distance Options

  • 1-Mile Easy Community Route
    A mostly flat route around the front property and pond area. This option is ideal for families, youth participants, first-time ruckers, and those looking for a lighter experience while still being part of the event.
  • 3-Mile Moderate Ruck
    A moderately challenging route that includes varied terrain. Participants may encounter areas that encourage working together as a team, helping one another navigate obstacles and elevation changes.
  • 5-Mile Moderate-to-Challenging Ruck (Optional)
    Will be an extension on the 3-mile ruck if you are feeling good you can keep going! Designed for participants seeking a longer, more physically demanding experience. This route includes moderately challenging terrain, with sections where teamwork, communication, and mutual support may be required.

All routes are non-competitive and self-paced. Participants may walk or ruck; jogging is optional where terrain allows.
