The
event
The 100 Mile Ruck March Charity Challenge for the non-profit organization Why Me & Sherry's House. The challenge is a military inspired event, where 50 athletes will ruck (hike) 25 miles a day for 4 days. Camping out each night on the farm of a local brewery and continuing the march at sunrise each morning. Athletes will carry everything they will need for this 4 day event on their backs, navigate the 100 mile course, cook their own meals, set up and break down their own camps each night, tend to their feet and bodies, all in an attempt to earn the coveted 100 Mile Ruck March Finisher Medal.
The
tradition
The 100 Mile Ruck March Charity Challenge, now in the fourth consecutive year, has become a beloved tradition that draws an ever-expanding audience, all united in the fight against childhood cancer. This military-inspired event sees 50 dedicated athletes rucking 25 miles a day for four grueling days, carrying all they need on their backs and camping out at a local brewery each night.

As they navigate the challenging 100-mile course, these athletes not only conquer their own limits but also raise awareness and funds to combat childhood cancer, earning the cherished 100 Mile Ruck March Finisher Medal as a testament to their dedication and resilience.
