About

Join us for this joint venture between Troops 1948 and 812. Troop 1948 will be using the funds to purchase a trailer to help store and carry gear for all of our adventures. Troop 812 will use their portion to pay for Sea Base and Summer Camp activities in summer of 2025. Both of these troops are chartered by our friends at Kyle VFW Post 12058. 5K and 5K Ruck Walk will start at the same time. Each will have its own set of Overall Male/Female and Age Group Awards

Ruck Walk rules - wear a backpack with at least 20 pounds of weight - however much is right for you. This is walk and based on the honor system (don't run) - all in good fun. Wear as much weight as you would like (at least 20 pounds), walk in honor or in memory of someone, or just to see if you can accomplish the challenge.

 

Volunteer here!

DOG and STROLLER are add ons and mean you will have a bib assigned to your dog or your stroller in addition to your own, which means whoever is running or rucking with the dog or stroller must register also.  A dog or a stroller must be accompanied by a human!  This is for a bib only.
