The ruck march will be held on September 13th, 2025 at 9:00am this year at the New Lenox Village Commons (1 Veterans Parkway, New Lenox, IL). Parking is available around all public parking lots surrounding the Commons. Please arrive by 8:30am to allow time for check-in and the singing of the National Anthem. We ask that you do what is best for you. If you choose to carry a ruck (loaded backpack), ensure that you can handle carrying it safely. If you choose to just walk with us, please just walk whatever distant you can and do not risk injury. If you are unable to physically do the walk, then we ask that you just be at the Village Commons in support of the ruck marchers as they being their long journey for the day!
