of July 4mi Ruck & Flag Carry
About this race
Join us for a patriotic celebration! This special event is designed to honor our nation's independence while promoting community spirit, physical fitness, and a sense of camaraderie.
This year’s ruck is proudly dedicated to K9 Camo Companions, a nonprofit that gives back to veterans by matching them with carefully selected companion dogs. Through personalized matching, training, and ongoing support, they help create meaningful connections that bring peace, comfort, and improved quality of life. A portion of this year’s proceeds will directly support their mission of connecting veterans with the right companion animal.
Participants will embark on an approximate 4.45mi ruck march in Greenville, MI [starting and ending at the Greenville Family Farm & Home], carrying rucksacks and proudly waving the American flag. Whether you're a seasoned rucker or new to the experience, this event welcomes individuals of all fitness levels.
