• Route options: 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 layout: The courses are joined from the start and break off in the middle to join again for the conclusion of the ruck.

🎽 What to Bring

• No weight specifications: There are no weight specifications for those who opt to carry a ruck—this is a personal choice.

🕊️ Experience the Journey

• Not a test of endurance: 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.
• Reflect on service: Each station provides an opportunity to reflect on the service, sacrifice, and legacy of those who served during these pivotal moments in history.
• Move with purpose: Whether you choose to ruck or walk, we encourage you to move with purpose and honor those who gave so much.
