Ruck Options
Ruck is back! You can register to ruck the marked courses of the Half Marathon, 10k or 5k. A portion of the Ruck registration proceeds will be donated to the Travis Manion Foundation. All ruck finishers will get the same finisher medal and shirt that the runners get, and an official ruck finisher patch.
