Carry the Light:  A Ruck Supporting Suicide Prevention

An urban ruck honoring those we’ve lost, supporting those who struggle, and reminding everyone it’s always okay to reach out for help.
About this Event

We will meet at Riverside Park near the bandshell, located at 520 E Veterans Memorial Drive, and depart at 12:00 PM. Our route will likely cross the Cass Street Bridge and will otherwise be predominantly flat, making it suitable for most fitness levels. Ruck sacks (weighted back packs) are OPTIONAL.

The total distance will be approximately 5 miles, with 2–3 rest and refreshment stops at local businesses. (Purchases at these stops are not included in the event cost.) We highly recommend you bring water along with you on the route.

This is a fun, laid-back community event, not a professionally organized race. It is created to bring people together in support of mental health and suicide prevention. Our goal is to end the stigma and help ensure everyone feels safe to ask for help.

All proceeds will benefit the La Crosse Area Suicide Awareness and Prevention Initiative.
