From the Organizer
Join us as we honor and remember the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the resilience of our nation on the 25th anniversary of September 11th, 2001.
Participants will ruck the 2.2 mile out-and-back boardwalk along the Sakonnet River, starting at Battleship Cove for a full day, carrying both the physical weight of their packs and the symbolic weight of that day.
This is not a race, it's a tribute. Participants are encouraged to come and go as they are able, rucking any distance that feels meaningful to them. Whether you join for a single mile or commit to multiple laps throughout the day and night, every step taken is a step in honor of those who served, sacrificed, and stood in the face of tragedy.
Together, we will move with purpose, reflect with gratitude, and stand united in remembrance.
All are welcome - veterans, active duty, first responders, families, supporters, and friends. Lace up, shoulder your pack, and be part of something that matters.
