Event details and schedule
HOW IT WORKS Ruck 5K/10K/15K or 12 miles...Your choice. Your Cadre will give you a map outlining a 12 mile route which will mostly be on trails in and around North Park. At the 5K/10K/15K stops along the way, you can secure a patch and either stop there and call it a day or continue to the next point and secure the next patch. Patches will have the distance outlined on them so if you want to complete all 12 miles, you will present the Cadre at the end with the 3 patches (5K/10K/15K) and he will hand you the TRAIL RUCK 12 Miler patch. You are more than welcome to do any distance you want and all are invited to the After-Party at the start point at 6PM.

Pay close attention to the weather — if it’s gonna be cold, make sure you have a windbreaker - Dry Bag (or equivalent, such as a contractor bag) for keeping everything in your ruck dry. - Supportive footwear.
