From the Organizer
UNITED WE STAND — 25 YEARS
Join Oscar Mike Ruckers on Sunday, September 27th at 12:00 PM at Wachusett Brewing Co. in Westminster, MA for a special 5 mile ruck honoring the 25th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
All these years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage of the first responders, military members, and everyday Americans who came together in the aftermath.
This ruck is more than miles and weight — it’s about remembering, honoring, and standing together.
25% of event proceeds will be donated to the Gary Sinise Foundation, supporting programs that honor and serve our nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.
🎒 Ruck | Remember | Honor | Give Back
Bring your family. Bring your four-legged ruck buddy. Load your pack and join us for a meaningful day of remembrance, community, and purpose. Enjoy a cold beverage afterwards or grab a bite to eat at the Wachusett Brew Yard on site.

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.
