Join us for Ruck for Resilience — a meaningful community event uniting veterans, service members, families, and supporters. Together, we’ll raise awareness for mental health, resilience, and suicide prevention by symbolizing the burdens our soldiers carry and “sharing the weight.”
This all-ages event includes 1-mile and 3-mile ruck options. Participants are encouraged to bring a rucksack or backpack loaded with non-perishable canned goods, which will be donated to the San Luis Obispo Veterans Services Office Food Pantry and Supportive Services for Veterans and Families. During the ruck, you’ll unload these items to represent the release of invisible burdens many veterans face daily.
Check-in begins at 8:00 am, followed by an opening ceremony at 8:45. The first 200 participants will receive a free event t-shirt and lunch ticket, so come early and take part in the kickoff. After the ruck, stick around for the Post-Race Community Gathering with food, music, and camaraderie until 1:00 pm.

Walk with purpose. Ruck in solidarity. Share the weight.
