The 3rd annual Legacy Ruck and Roll event will be hosted by the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation.
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).
Legacy Ruck and Roll brings together the community to honor the legacy of Post 9/11 servicemembers and support the families of fallen heroes. Participants engage in a ruck march, symbolizing the perseverance and dedication of military personnel. The event not only fosters a sense of community but also inspires patriotism and selfless service.
Participants can walk, ruck, or roll based upon desires and abilities at this fully accessible event. There are two routes: a gentle 2-mile course or a slightly rugged 3.5 miles. 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. The courses are joined from the start and break off in the middle to join again for the conclusion of the ruck
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.
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 legacyof those who served during these pivotal moments in history. Whether you choose to ruck or walk, we encourage you to move with purpose and honor those who gave so much.
Each registered participant will receive a Legacy Ruck and Roll tshirt. Adult and youth sizes are available. Shirt availability can only be guaranteed if participant is registered by May 25.
