OVH North Country Challenge

Join Operation Valor Horizon for our First Annual Walk / Run / Ruck!

Pick your poison—walk, run, or ruck march with us and choose the distance that fits you best. Participants may select from a 1-mile loop, 3-mile route, or 5-mile route, and you’re welcome to walk, run, or ruck any distance of your choosing.

We’re excited to host this event after seeing the incredible support from our local community during our 22-mile Veterans Day march, and we’re proud to continue creating opportunities for connection, movement, and purpose.

The event will feature partner agencies and veteran support services on site, along with a food truck for participants and spectators to enjoy.

Registration opens at 8:00 AM, with the event starting at 9:00 AM. Starts will be staggered by distance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Whether you’re here to honor service, support veterans, or simply move with your community—we look forward to seeing you there.
