Ruck 22

The Great Lakes Bay Veterans Coalition (GLBVC) is hosting a 22-mile ruck to raise awareness of the 22 Veterans who take their lives every day. The ruck starts and ends in Auburn and lasts approximately eight hours. Funds raised go towards the Blue Star Service Dogs program.

Blue Star Service Dogs’ mission is to provide military veterans diagnosed with PTSD and TBI another method of healing through service dogs and training. Through their programs, they seek to help heal visible and invisible wounds, provide families with new beginnings, and raise awareness about the potential of shelter and rescue dogs everywhere.

The full ruck (22 miles) starts at 08:00 AM. The convoy will head north on 9 Mile and start a clockwise loop around Auburn. For those wishing to participate in the half ruck, you will arrive at the park and be shuttled out to the halfway point.

There will be a bus for people to stop and take a break if necessary and a trailer full of water, Gatorade, and fruit.
