2024 Theme: This year we are going full force into the spirit of May 4th with a Star Wars themed event. More details will be sent out closer to the event date, but expect some action-packed fun thats out of this world (and in a galaxy far, far away).
You and four team members will ruck 15 miles through areas such as city streets, trails and more. Rucking is walking with a weighted pack/ruck on your back. This event is for all rucking abilities as everyone on the team does not have to cover the full 15 miles. Your team has 6 hours to finish the course or you will not earn your patch. Every event will feature a service component to it.
