About this race

Ruck for the Ribbon 5K is a 3.1-mile in-person and virtual ruck/walk created to raise breast cancer awareness and support Sisters Network Tampa Bay.

Participants are required to carry a backpack or rucksack; added weight is optional. The ruck symbolizes the physical, emotional, and financial weight carried by breast cancer patients, survivors, and their families.

This event is about more than completing 3.1 miles. It’s about carrying the weight together, honoring survivors, remembering those we’ve lost, and supporting those still fighting.

All registered 5K ruckers/walkers will receive a finisher medal. Registration fees help cover medals and other event expenses, while donations are separate and directly support Sisters Network Tampa Bay.

Carry the weight. Support the fight.
