Date: Saturday, June 6, 2026 | Check-In:  8am | Step-off:  9:30am

Join us for a ruck march event to raise awareness of veteran suicide and veterans issues!  We will complete a 3 mile (5 km) route with volunteer leaders setting a brisk but comfortable pace. This event is free, but you must register.  

The event is open to EVERYONE!  Military and non-military, adult, children...anyone that wants to join us in a march to build community and to raise awareness of veterans issues.

Wearing a weighted rucksack is encouraged but optional. We want everyone to be able to participate!

We will collect donations for the Veterans Multi-Service Center in Philadelphia. You may fill your rucksacks with donation items (see donation information below) and drop them in boxes at the finish line, or you can drop your donations off before starting the march.

This event is pet-friendly. Your pet must be well-behaved and on a leash or otherwise restrained.

Hainesport Ruck for Vets is sponsored by the Hainesport Mayor's Wellness Campaign Veterans Task Force.
