Get ready for an exhilarating day of outdoor adventure at the 5th annual Ranger Ruck, taking place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, in the beautiful Stevens Point, Portage. This exciting event invites participants to ruck, run, or walk a scenic 6.1-mile (10K) route that begins at the UWSP Marshfield Clinic Champions Hall and meanders through the picturesque Schmeeckle Reserve. Whether you're strapping on a weighted pack for the ruck challenge or opting for a brisk run or leisurely walk, this event promises fun for everyone!

With a ruck weight of 35 pounds, participants will compete for prizes awarded to the top three finishers in both the Ruck and Run/Walk categories. After the race, join us for a vibrant vendor fair to explore local offerings and connect with the community. Each participant will also receive a stylish event t-shirt and a goody bag at packet pick-up. Best of all, proceeds from the Ranger Ruck will support our Cadets in their team-building endeavors, including participation in events like the Army Ten Miler and the Bataan Death March. Mark your calendars and prepare for a day full of excitement, camaraderie, and purpose!
