From the Organizer
Join us on November 14, 2026, at Helena High School for the 2026 Veteran's Day 10K Charity Ruck March. This 10K ruck march will raise awareness to veteran suicide prevention and benefit the veteran nonprofit Ultimate Experience Outdoors. UXO provides outdoor adventure opportunities to Veterans, First Responders, Gold Star Families, and Disabled Children. The 10K ruck march will start at the Helena High school at 0845, then traversing through the historic Hillsboro Trail, culminating at the Helena High School flag pole.
There will be a family friendly community event located at the High School starting at 1000 for families to attend while participants finish the march. There will be bounce houses, vendors, food trucks, a Fun Run for kids, and much more! At 1100 once all participants are finished rucking, there will be a short Veteran's Day Ceremony, followed by raffle drawings for sponsorship prizes.
Participating in the march with a 35lb ruck is preferred, but not mandatory. Don't let them carry the weight alone.

Rucking is covering ground on foot under a weighted pack — borrowed from the military and turned into everything from timed solo challenges to long team events. Simple to start, deceptively hard to finish.
It rewards steady effort and mental grit over speed, and the community side — moving together under load — is a big part of the draw.
