Ruck4HIT
Ruck4HIT is a team-based ruck relay across Cape Cod held on April 24–25, 2026. The route extends more than 200 miles through all 15 towns of the Cape. Teams begin in Falmouth, ruck to the tip of the Cape in Provincetown where climbing the Pilgrim Monument marks the midpoint, then return toward Falmouth to finish at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds and take part in a Finish Line Party.
Teams are organized as relays with a minimum of seven ruckers and two drivers per team. Across all divisions, participants complete 2 to 4 mile legs while carrying a rucksack weighing 10 to 20 pounds. The rucksack is presented as a symbol of burdens carried by military members and veterans.
The event includes team challenges at the midpoint and again on the return route for the full course. Ruck4HIT is presented in three divisions that offer different course lengths and challenge structures. The event was created in collaboration with local veterans, first responders, active-duty service members, and community supporters. Proceeds support Heroes In Transition, Inc. and programs benefiting veterans, active service members, and military families. The event is grounded in a promise to carry the load together, honor those who serve, and never leave a fallen comrade behind.
