Course and purpose
The event takes place on Camp Meridale, a 170-acre site with rolling hills, varied terrain and natural springs that hosts monthly and year-round programs. The 5K and ruck are described as all-terrain courses with trails through woods, hills and uneven ground rather than a road run. The event’s stated purpose is to raise awareness of suicide and PTSD and to support the mission to "Heal the Hidden Wounds of War." Free refreshments and food will be available after the awards ceremony. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
