The Impact Ruck: A Community Ruck for Awareness and Resilience
The Impact Ruck is a powerful new community event dedicated to fostering awareness and building resilience. At its core, The Impact Ruck is about mobilizing support and inspiring action for critical causes that impact well-being and community strength. Each year, we’ll channel our collective energy to address pressing needs, bringing together community members from all walks of life through a shared commitment to making a tangible difference.
For our inaugural event on Saturday, September 13, 2025, in Rome, NY, our mission is focused on raising vital awareness for veteran food insecurity, promoting holistic veteran well-being, and building strong community support for those who have bravely served our nation. Participants can choose between a 5K Ruck or a 1-Mile Ruck, making it an accessible and impactful event for all fitness levels. Every step we take and every pound we carry directly benefits two incredible organizations: Feed Our Vets, which combats food insecurity among veterans, and Veterans Yoga Project, which fosters resilience and healing through mind-body practices.
Join us for this groundbreaking event as we ruck for a cause, demonstrating solidarity and commitment to a healthier, more resilient community for all. While our location may vary in the future, plan to join us annually on the second Saturday in September for a day of purpose and impact.
