About this race
Welcome to our 2nd Annual Veterans Day 5K-10K Ruck & Roll – Scenic Lake Corpus Christi State Park🎖️
Join us this Veterans Day weekend for a powerful event honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. The Veterans Day 5K & 10K Ruck will take place at the beautiful Lake Corpus Christi State Park in Mathis, Texas—a scenic backdrop that embodies the strength, freedom, and unity our veterans have fought to protect.
