Husky Run & Ruck
The Husky Run & Ruck takes place on Sunday November 8, 2026 on the UConn Storrs campus in Storrs, CT. The event includes multiple course options that start and end on campus and pass the Ultimate Sacrifice Memorial on the Great Lawn.
The event offers these distances:
- 10K run including the Bonemill loop

The 10K course includes the Bonemill loop, a long-used proving ground for UConn runners. The routes explore campus and the surrounding Mansfield-Storrs area. The fitness walk is an untimed mile through the heart of campus.
Proceeds benefit UConn’s Office of Veterans Affairs and Military Programs and the Kyle Milliken Fund to support scholarships for military and veteran students. The event takes place on Veterans Day weekend and honors those who have served.
Participants receive long sleeve technical shirts and post-race activities take place outside the UConn Student Recreation Center. The event also includes a Kids Fun Run with 1/4 mile or 1/2 mile options for ages 2 to 11. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
