Introducing Living Free Together’s Ruck the Ridge – an epic destination ADVENTURE challenge that pays tribute to our active duty military, veterans, and first responders.

Embark on the ultimate weighted hiking challenge, designed to test your strength, endurance, and camaraderie. RTR caters to all fitness levels, allowing you to push yourself at your own pace through the flexible course options of 4, 6, or 8 miles.  New for 2024 will be an All Abilities route that will be over flat terrain and will offer a great Ruck experience.

On Saturday Nov 9 2024, in honor of Veterans Day, seize the opportunity to conquer RTR as it kicks off at the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills, starting from the Blue Ridge School grounds. The journey unfolds along professionally groomed trails, creating unforgettable memories along the way. This extraordinary event merges ruck hiking, trail running, and adventure/obstacle course races, promising an experience like no other.

The adventure doesn’t end with the challenge! Gather your loved ones and head to the FREE RuckFest. Indulge in delicious delights from food trucks, groove to the music, visit the petting zoo and let the kids challenge themselves on the child’s obstacle course. Engage with sponsors and local nonprofits, amplifying the spirit of togetherness and support.

By participating in this awe-inspiring challenge, you also contribute to Living Free Together, a local non-profit dedicated to assisting military families – forging connections that last a lifetime.

Join us at Ruck the Ridge for a day of Grit, Unity, and Freedom!
