Event Description

The Ruck to Remember Final Miles takes just outside Denver, CO, in addition to many other cities across the United States, all occurring on Monday, Memorial Day morning.  Join as an individual or bring your friends and family too – we will operate the Final Miles movement in compliance with all Covid restrictions but still together as a movement within a movement.    The Denver Final Miles will begin just outside the Fort Logan National Cemetery and then move out on a 3 mile movement to the Danny Dietz Memorial in Littleton, Co.  At this point, you will hear Stories of Valor before moving back to the Ft. Logan Cemetery.   

The Ruck to Remember is a national movement that started in 2010, with 6 Veterans taking part in a tribute hike to a fallen brother-in-arms.  Today, it operates across the Unites States, with the 60 to 60 (60-mile hike to section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery) as well as Final Miles, in Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Florida, California , Texas and Washington DC.
