Ruck 4 Cover

It is with profound regret that we announce the cancellation of this year's Ruck 4 Cover event due to unforeseen circumstances. We are already in the planning stages for next year's event. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you are interested in joining our planning committee, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate all expressions of interest in being involved, as hosting an event of this nature requires a collaborative effort. We kindly request that you keep next year's event in your thoughts and prayers, as we strive to make a meaningful impact for this mission that holds great significance for us. 🇺🇸

Why go on a ruck march? It's a form of exercise that involves walking or hiking with a weighted backpack. This is commonly done for PT in the military. The added weight makes it tougher, boosting strength, endurance, and cardio. Plus, it’s great for all fitness levels since you can adjust the weight to suit you.

On October 18th at 7am we will be holding our first annual ruck march to help fight veteran homelessness. There Is an option to walk or even run a 5k If you would rather but we truly hope you’ll join us. And in the mean time, it’s like everything else. Is it day one or one day?

For all those getting ready for our big day, these guys have great monthly challenges to help. Give them a like and then get to work.

Lest we forget…

Did you know in Missouri there are just under 600 homeless veterans? There is an estimated 35,000 nation wide. This is something we have long been passionate about but I’ve never taken action.

The work being done at Footprints, Inc. is so important. When I had the opportunity to speak with Joel it was obvious what had to be done.

Please register for this event and help us support them.
