Sweat4Vets Ruck March to Benefit Wiregrass Honor Flight

Wiregrass Daily News spoke with Travis Parker, founder of Wiregrass Honor Flight, about the upcoming Sweat4Vets Ruck March, a community event aimed at honoring veterans and raising funds to send them to Washington D.C.

Taking place on Saturday, May 17, at the Church on Boll Weevil Circle (2017 Boll Weevil Circle, Enterprise), the event offers two ruck options: a 5K and an 11-mile “Ruck the Circle” challenge.

Both begin at 7:30 a.m., with registration starting at 7:00 a.m. Participants will carry weighted ruck sacks—25 lbs for women and 35 lbs for men. The event has a $25 entry fee, with all proceeds funding trips for World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans to visit their memorials in Washington D.C.

The event also features food trucks, vendor tents, and a rock climbing wall provided by the National Guard.

Participants are encouraged to bring a flag and fill their rucks with items to donate to SOS Animal Shelter. All are welcome to ruck or walk in support of this meaningful cause.
