Description
Are you tough enough?
Join Big Sky Bravery and Moving Mountains as we celebrate our Veterans with a ruck on November 11th and give back to the community by providing food for the Big Sky Community Food Bank.
Rucking is simply walking with weight on your back and is a staple of military training. There is no weight limit for this ruck, though we do ask you to fill your packs with food to be donated to the Big Sky Food Bank at the completion of the ruck. Items such as bags of rice, beans and peas carry easily in a pack and are in high demand, especially black beans. Canned goods and produce such as onions and potatoes also carry well in a pack. The food bank can accept canned goods up to a year after the expiration date. If you have items you would like to donate that won't carry well, we can weigh your items and provide you with the equivalent weight to carry.
The 6 mile loop will begin at Moving Mountains and walk the Uplands/Hummocks trail system, finishing back at Moving Mountains.
Each participant receives a shirt and the first 25 people to register will also receive a water bottle. Registration includes a shirt, raffle ticket and a post race meal.
Your raffle ticket gives you a chance to win one of 4 prizes:
Half of a grass fed pig:
"Generously sponsored by Aarogya Holistic and Functional Medicine, we're thrilled to announce a donation of half a pork from Broken T Ranches, in Twin Bridges, MT.
