Trail Ruck Benefiting Boulder Crest Foundation
Join us for a Trail Ruck Benefiting Boulder Crest Foundation on Saturday, May 2, as we team up with GORUCK and Dirt Farm Brewing for a memorable day in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you are a seasoned rucker or trying it for the first time, this event offers a welcoming and rewarding experience for all fitness levels.
If you’re unfamiliar with rucking, it’s simply walking or hiking with a weighted backpack. Originally used by military units for training, rucking has grown into a popular, low-impact fitness activity that builds strength and endurance while fostering connection and camaraderie. It is as much about community as it is about challenge, making it a perfect fit for a Boulder Crest event.
Participants can choose from a 12K Competitive Trail Race with GORUCK, a 12K Open Trail Ruck, or a 6K Open Trail Ruck. The open trail options can be completed with or without a weighted ruck or vest, making it accessible whether you are looking to push yourself or simply enjoy a scenic hike with purpose. Along the way, you’ll experience the stunning forest and farmland of the Blue Ridge Mountains while supporting Boulder Crest Foundation’s mission to facilitate Posttraumatic Growth for veterans, first responders, and their families.
All finishers will receive a drink token redeemable for a beer or non-alcoholic beverage at Dirt Farm Brewing, providing the perfect opportunity to relax, connect, and celebrate together after the ruck.

Looking for an Extra Challenge?
For those ready to push even further, the GORUCK Fundraiser PT Fitness Competition offers a unique endurance challenge built around sandbag and ruck training. Participants will take part in instructor-led exercises that may include bodyweight movements, sandbag carries, ruck squats, and other physically demanding tasks designed to test grit, resilience, and determination.
This elimination-style competition is simple in concept but challenging in execution. Participants will continue performing exercises to standard until only a few remain. Some may last just a few minutes, while others may endure much longer. Regardless of how long you last, every participant contributes to supporting Boulder Crest Foundation and the communities we serve.
Expect a little sweat, some dirt, and a lot of camaraderie along the way.
