The event will be held Saturday, October 8 at 9:00 a.m. in Eaton Rapids and will be open to all veterans and their friends, families and supporters.The VFW National Home assists military, veterans, and their families with children, by creating a foundation of services and resources to achieve their personal and family goals in order to move forward in a positive, safe and healthy environment.You may ask, what exactly is a "ruck"? Ruck march or "rucking" comes from the German term ruckensack which means “carry bag”.  A ruck march in the military is a 12 mile walk with a 45-pound rucksack traveling at no less than one mile every 15 minutes.  Our Family Fun Ruck/Walk is a little less intense, with options for a full 5K ruck with all trails used or “mini rucks” using our smaller trail loops.  Also, a traditional ruck has 45 pounds of weight in a pack on their back. But for this family ruck, you decide what works best for you!We ask that you bring your own ruck sack or you may wish to purchase one similar to this Canvas Double Strap Ruck Sack. And please bring the kids!  This is a family-friendly event open to all skill levels. We would encourage kids to wear a backpack that is age-appropriate for their size. We hope you'll join us for the first-time outdoor event. Your $35 ticket purchase will cover snacks, a picnic lunch, event t-shirt, and lots of fun family activities.
