What Is a Ruck?
Choose Your Food
Head to your local grocery store and fill a bag with non-perishable items: canned goods, pasta, peanut butter. Your choice, your challenge weight.
Pack Your Ruck
Load every item into your backpack. Feel the weight build. Each tin and box is a meal you are carrying on behalf of a veteran who needs it.
Ruck the Course
March 5km through St. Albert together. No treadmills, no shortcuts. The weight is real, the mission is real. Every kilometre has a sponsor behind it.
Donate the Weight
At the finish line, your backpack is emptied into the Veterans Association Food Bank. The food you carried is the food they receive. No middleman.
