A team-based ruck relay, where teams run 200+ miles through all 15 towns on the Cape.  The race spans roughly 36 hours with a Finish Line Party. Starting in Falmouth, participants ruck to the tip of the Cape in Provincetown where the first team challenge — climbing the Pilgrim Monument together — occurs. Teams then head back towards the finish line in Falmouth to celebrate what they have accomplished together.

Each athlete runs 2-4 miles at a time with a 10- to 20-pound rucksack on his/her back. The rucksack is symbolic of the burdens our military and veterans make and have made in service to our country. 

Ruck4HIT was created in collaboration with supporters, local veterans, first responders and those currently serving to raise awareness and funding for Heroes In Transition, Inc. and their various veteran/active service members and military family programs.

As every service member is forced to carry the burden of war during active service and beyond, carrying the ruck sack is symbolic of hardships endured and the perseverance required to complete the mission.

This event raises funds for Heroes In Transition, all in the continuing effort to never leave a fallen comrade behind.
