Legacy Ruck and Roll

🏅 Event Overview

The 2nd annual Legacy Ruck and Roll event will be hosted by the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation.

🎗️ Purpose

This heartfelt initiative is aimed at raising awareness and funds for the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation (GWOTMF) and the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation (DRMF).

🕊️ Community Engagement

• Honoring Legacy: Legacy Ruck and Roll brings together the community to honor the legacy of Post 9/11 servicemembers and support the families of fallen heroes.
• Ruck March: Participants engage in a ruck march, symbolizing the perseverance and dedication of military personnel.
• Inspiration: The event not only fosters a sense of community but also inspires patriotism and selfless service.

🚶‍♂️ Participation Details

• Accessibility: Participants can walk, ruck, or roll based upon desires and abilities at this fully accessible event.
• Course Options: There are two routes: a gentle 2-mile course or a slightly rugged 3.5 miles.
• Guest Speakers: Pausing at stations along the route allows guest speakers to share brief yet powerful messages to encourage personal reflection centered around the GWOTMF Mission: Honor, Heal, Empower, Unite.
• Route Details: The courses are joined from the start and break off in the middle to join again for the conclusion of the ruck.

🎽 Rucking Details

Participants are welcome to bring a ruck if they choose, but it is not required to take part in the event. There are no weight specifications for those who opt to carry a ruck—this is a personal choice.

💬 Reflective Experience

The purpose of this event is not to test physical endurance but to experience the guided stations as we move through the timeline of the Global War on Terror. Each station provides an opportunity to reflect on the service, sacrifice, and legacy of those who served during these pivotal moments in history.

👕 Participant Perks

Each registered participant will receive a Legacy Ruck and Roll tshirt. Adult and youth sizes are available.
