The Ruck Sack Race is an amazing way to support Camaraderie Foundation.  We challenge participants to “Walk, Run or RUCK a Mile in Their Boots.”  Participants can chose to walk, run or compete as a Ruck Sack Warrior in our family-friendly 5K race around Harbor Park.  Participation as a Warrior includes carrying a 35 pound ruck sack.

This event hosts walkers, runners, and joggers of all fitness levels. Strollers welcome too! The race starts at 8am. Race day pick up starts at 7am  **This race will be chip timed. This is a USATF certified course.**
