What’s a Ruck?

A ruck is walking or hiking with a weighted pack — a key part of military training used to build strength and endurance. Participants can choose weighted packs, vests, or go unweighted.

What’s a Roll?

The roll is for adaptive athletes using handcycles or recumbents. Competitive rolling takes place on challenging terrain, so please review the course maps before registering.

Operation Supply Drop – Ruck for a Reason

This isn’t just a workout — it’s a mission.

As part of Ruck & Roll, we’re activating Operation Supply Drop to support local veterans and their families. Your orders: bring non-perishable food supplies to help stock the local food bank and serve those who’ve served our country.

Every donation earns you a limited-edition Operation Supply Drop patch — a badge of honor for stepping up and giving back.

• Purpose: Load your ruck with non-perishable supplies
• Donation: Drop off at the supply station
• Honor: Our heroes with every step

Whether you're rucking solo or rolling with your squad, every contribution helps reinforce the front lines of community support. Let’s move with meaning and rally behind our veterans.
