Organiser's Description
RUCK MARCH
Twice a year Rucks On Main will host a military-themed ruck march at the Santa Fe Plaza in downtown Temple, Texas to honor our Veterans and The Fallen. This ruck march is open to everyone.

The 40lb max is a *suggested* weight, not required - carry what you are comfortable with. Marchers will complete a 6-mile route through downtown and historic neighborhoods in North Temple. Before the ruck march, each participant will receive a t-shirt, and upon completion, each participant will receive a small gift of our choosing. Participants can preregister online, or in person on the day of the event.
