Welcome to VETWOD + GORUCK I!

What:

An online ruck event sponsored by GORUCK to benefit VETWOD’s programs for veterans and first responders that includes gym memberships, gym equipment, event registrations, crisis financial assistance, etc.

Where:

Anywhere. Seriously, anywhere. All you need is a pack, a road or a trail.

Why:

Rucking is a great way for our military and first responders to train to stay fit for duty. Due to the nature of their jobs, walking with a heavy load helps to build strength, endurance and character. Rucking for a cause is also a great way to honor and remember those who have served our nation in any capacity - at home or abroad, and it also promotes a strong community. All the proceeds from this initiative will fund VETWOD programs, as we seek to help our veterans and first responders who deal with transitioning from active to civilian life, depression, financial hardship, PTSD, and suicide. Help us help them. #fortheone
