Event summary
Join us in Big Sky, Gallatin on Saturday, November 11th, 2023, for the Big Sky Bravery Veterans Day Ruck, a spirited event honoring our veterans while giving back to the community. This engaging ruck, which involves walking with a weighted pack—a key component of military training—invites participants of all fitness levels to tackle a scenic 6-mile loop through the Uplands/Hummocks trail system, starting and finishing at Moving Mountains.
The unique twist to this ruck is the emphasis on community support; participants are encouraged to fill their backpacks with non-perishable food items for the Big Sky Community Food Bank. Essential items such as rice, beans, and canned goods will make a significant impact, especially during this season of giving. Each participant will receive a commemorative shirt, and the first 25 registrants will also get a stylish water bottle. Additionally, you'll have the chance to win exciting raffle prizes, including half of a grass-fed pig and high-quality rucking gear! Rain or shine, this event is a testament to resilience and community spirit—come out and show your support for our veterans!

Organiser's description
ARE YOU TOUGH ENOUGH?
Join Big Sky Bravery and Moving Mountains as we celebrate our Veterans with a ruck on November 11th and give back to the community by providing food for the Big Sky Community Food Bank.
Rucking is simply walking with weight on your back and is a staple of military training. There is no weight limit for this ruck, though we do ask you to fill your packs with food to be donated to the Big Sky Food Bank at the completion of the ruck. Items such as bags of rice, beans and peas carry easily in a pack and are in high demand, especially black beans. Canned goods and produce such as onions and potatoes also carry well in a pack. The food bank can accept canned goods up to a year after the expiration date. If you have items you would like to donate that won't carry well, we can weigh your items and provide you with the equivalent weight to carry.
The 6 mile loop will begin at Moving Mountains and walk the Uplands/Hummocks trail system, finishing back at Moving Mountains.
Each participant receives a shirt and the first 25 people to register will also receive a water bottle. Registration includes a shirt, raffle ticket and a post race meal.
Your raffle ticket gives you a chance to win one of 4 prizes:
Half of a grass fed pig:
"Generously sponsored by Aarogya Holistic and Functional Medicine, we're thrilled to announce a donation of half a pork from Broken T Ranches, in Twin Bridges, MT. This offering includes half a pig artisanly butchered and wrapped (about 65 lbs of meat). Broken T Ranch is renowned for raising holistic, free-range pasture pigs, thoughtfully nourished with a sustainable diet of non-GMO, corn-free, and soy-free feed. Aarogya Holistic and Functional Medicine passionately believes in the profound connection between our food choices and overall well-being, and they're dedicated to promoting a holistic approach to enhancing their patients' wellness journey."
