πŸ“… Date: October 19th at Noon
πŸ“ Venue: Wonderland Distillery
Event Details:
Rucking for a Cause - This unique event invites you to carry a weighted backpack or vest and embark on a journey to support our valiant veterans. No weight? No worries! Walking without weight is equally celebrated, as every step you take brings a veteran closer to their service dog.
πŸ•š Pre-registration starts at 11 AM - Rucking starts at Noon.
🎟Pre-registration fee: $25 or $35 on site, day of.
Our Goal:
For every $3,000 raised, we will be able to vet, acquire and begin the training of ONE service puppy. This noble animal will be trained under the expert guidance of the West Michigan K9 Foundation and subsequently paired with a deserving veteran after completion of training.
On The Big Day:
Choose between two options:
πŸŽ’The Ruff Ruck Challenge
Mission: Cover 12 miles carrying a rucksack or weight vest weighing between 35-50 lb.
Time Limit: Finish within 3 hours.
Trivia: This mirrors the Army Ranger Ruck Test.
πŸ‘ŸThe PC Run - (Personal Challenge)
Mission: Set a personal distance and/or donation goal!
How? Walk, wheelchair, or ruck the longest distance you have gone at one time. You are going for a distance that you will talk about and remember the rest of your life. If you are an experienced walker, add a weighted ruck sack to increase the challenge.
Your Journey Matters:
