Red, White & Ruck strives to unite the military community, Gold and Blue-Star Families, and our civilian population to pay tribute to our fallen heroes.

3-Hour Time Trial - Military Style Ruck March Race  Closed course. Every participant will be given a bib containing the name of a fallen service member to ruck in their honor and memory.

SUPPORTING GOLD STAR & SURVIVING FAMILIES

The event's proceeds will fund our Enduring Heroes Program, granting Gold Star family members the opportunity to partake in our annual "active" retreat at the Bataan Memorial Death March. During the retreat, they can honor their loved ones by conquering a challenging 14 or 26.2-mile march through the high desert at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The course for this event is a short loop, structured as a time trial criterium.The loop will be about a mile to two miles long. You will do as many laps as possible within the three-hour time limit. There will be a staging area, where you check in after each lap and tag off to your teammate.  You can also grab food and drinks and hang out while waiting for your teammate. 

You may bring your preferred nutrition, but we will also have a supply of water and snacks in the staging area. All items must be outside of your pack and in clear bags. 

Your team will be given a punch card – this is how we count completed laps. Every person except for the honorary member needs to carry a backpack or wear a weighted vest.
