1 Run or walk race
2 Financial support for local veterans in need
3 Prevent hunger locally by providing food
Ruck Run registration begins at 8 a.m. with the race beginning at 9
a.m. in Kickapoo Creek Park.
Registration fees and monetary donations will go to the local VFW
Post 1756 Veteran's Relief Fund.
Anyone wishing to pre-register or make a donation to the fund may do
so at REPS Gym located at 300 S. McLean St., Lincoln. It's $30 ($25
military).
In addition, race contestants are urged to wear a backpack with
non-perishable food items added. The contents of the backpacks will
be weighed and contestants awarded by weight categories.
All food will then be donated to local food pantries.
The first of its kind in Logan County, the 5-K Ruck Run is a triple
good way to start your weekend in this month of thanks giving.
