5K Ruck
A "Ruck" is a common activity in the military where a soldier marches with a backpack on, typically holding all the gear they will need to live out of in the field. This can be done as either a run or a walk. For R4TW's Ruck, we are encouraging giving back to the community by filling up a backpack with canned goods and rucking a 5K. All canned goods will be donated to the Community Harvest Food Bank. Sign up for this 5K Ruck and see if you can ruck like a real soldier!
