Carry the Weight – RUCK22 2022

We’re inviting everyone in our community to come together in solidarity to raise awareness about veteran suicide and how we can help prevent it. The RUCK 22 Veteran Suicide Awareness Walk will challenge everyone to a 2.2 mile walk, crawl or run and to participate in a physically challenging and educational obstacle course while carrying 22 pounds. 22 pounds is significant as a reminder that every day 22 veterans lose their battles to post-traumatic stress on American soil. One veteran every 65 minutes commits suicide in the United States.

If you are unable to carry 22lb due to physical limitations we still want you to participate and be a part of this important cause! All ages and abilities are welcome, and bring your backpack!

We will be running this event no matter the weather; rain or shine we’ll be there.
