Organiser's Description
The 2nd annual Legacy Ruck and Roll event will be hosted by the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation.

Pausing at stations along the route allows guest speakers to share brief yet powerful messages to encourage personal reflection centered around the GWOTMF Mission: Honor, Heal, Empower, Unite. The courses are joined from the start and break off in the middle to join again for the conclusion of the ruck
