If you've been part of the brotherhood, you know all about how much Uncle Sam loves making you walk really long ways with a bunch of junk on your back! Well, we figured you missed doing that, and some of the community might enjoy experiencing it for the first time! Soooo, come join us for the army's version of a crappy half marathon!

DETAILS:

July 12, 2025

Registration is online at:

https://www.contact-front.org/about-ruck

Check-in starts at 7am, and we step off at 8am!

Distance: 12 miles or however far you can make it!

Prizes: 1st place individual and 1st Place Team.

Who can come: Anyone who wants to experience the joys of 12 miles with the weight of fat 2nd-grader strapped on your back. Not sure if you'll die? Ask your doctor first please. No age restrictions~

Cost: $75 Individual or $300/6- person squad. Believe in what we are doing and want to pay more? AWESOME! Free-will donations will help our combat vets involved in our program!

What you get: A shirt you will want to wear every single day of your life, a delicious meal, lots of water, snacks, and more memories than you can cram in your new rucksack!

What to bring: Well, this can take anywhere from 2-8 hours depending on your motivation level, so bring a water source, your favorite snacks, spare socks, good footwear, a backpack or ruck with 30 pounds of your mom's knick-knacks in it and sunblock if you're a ginger.

We will have water and snacks and medical along the route!

This is a great opportunity to mingle with folks who have done this a lot in their service to this country and hang out with folks who haven't! I promise whichever experience you are coming from...you'll have a blast and be talking about this for the next year!

What's all this for? We are raising money for Combat Veterans! If you don't know about Contact-Front, we've helped a ton of struggling combat vets find purpose after the uniform!
