Purpose

• Awareness: 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).

• Engagement: 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

• Accessibility: Participants can walk, ruck, or roll based upon desires and abilities at this fully accessible event.
• Routes: 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.
• Course Details: The courses are joined from the start and break off in the middle to join again for the conclusion of the ruck.
