HONOR ✯ HEAL ✯ CONNECT

What is the RED WHITE & RUCK, and what makes it so special?
Imagine if a ruck march, a cycling time trial (without the bike), and a tailgate had a baby. You'd have RWR! LOL.
Join us for a one-of-a-kind competition organized by a USMC mom and the founder of Memories of Honor to honor our fallen service members and their families while promoting camaraderie within the community. The RWR competition follows a criterium-style format with a time-trial timing system. Participants run or ruck on foot while carrying weighted packs or vests, completing multiple laps on a short course. Are you ready to step up and show the world just how tough you truly are?
