Husky Run & Ruck
The Husky Run & Ruck is a Veterans Day weekend road event held on the University of Connecticut Storrs campus. The event offers multiple distances that start and end on campus and route through the Mansfield-Storrs area. Courses pass the Ultimate Sacrifice Memorial on the Great Lawn.
The 10K course includes the Bonemill loop, a long-used route associated with UConn runners and athletes. The 5K accommodates both runners and walkers. A fitness walk covers an untimed one-mile route through the heart of campus. Participants receive long sleeve technical shirts and post-race activities take place outside the UConn Student Recreation Center.
Proceeds support UConn’s Office of Veterans Affairs and Military Programs and a fund established in memory of a fallen UConn athlete and service member. The event description also notes an encouragement for participants to run or ruck the Bonemill loop in that memory. A Kids Fun Run offers short distances for children ages 2 to 11.
