EVENT INFORMATION

More event information will become available as race day approaches.

June is PTSD Awareness Month, and no one fights alone. Join the American Legion Post #163 and your local fitness family for this unique and inspiring event!

“Rucking” is the sport of walking, running, or hiking with a weighted backpack or vest. For this event, choose between two races styles (rucking with a pack or weighted vest, or running with no pack) and two distances (12 or 6 miles).

This event starts and finishes at Peg Leg Brewing in North Platte, and will be run primarily on portions of the NP Trails Network. Race day registration is 7:00 a.m. Presentation of colors at 8:00 a.m. The start time of both ruck and run will be at 8:30 a.m. Overall winners get free entry into the next year’s event. Proceeds go to Legion Post #163 Scholarship Fund.
