Important Update!
Due to trail restrictions and flooding from the recent rain, we’ve had to make adjustments to keep everyone safe and on accessible paths. As a result, the 10K has been modified to a 7K.
What This Means for You
All registered 10K runners will now complete a 7K course
You will loop around the revised course once to complete the full 7K distance
Please follow the updated course signs and be mindful of other participants as you run and ruck
You can view the updated course map here: [View Updated 7K Map]
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause. Your safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we adapt to the trail conditions.
Thank you for being part of Ruck 4 Freedom and for showing up to support our veterans, first responders, and their families.
