The Nearly Naked Ruck March
September 10, 2022
Anoka, MN
Come celebrate our nation's Heroes on September 10 in downtown Anoka! The 501c3 nonprofit, 23rd Veteran, will be hosting its fifth annual NEARLY NAKED RUCK MARCH to raise money for its unique, life-changing programs for local veterans. All proceeds help build healthier, happier lives for our Heroes living with trauma! This Fall, SOMETHING DIFFERENT by registering for the event, raising money for and amazing cause, and rising to the challenge!
WHAT IS IT?
The NEARLY NAKED RUCK MARCH is a fitness fundraiser challenge. It is based off the traditional military exercise of carrying a heavy load over distance. It is an UNTIMED one-mile loop around downtown Anoka. All ruckers receive a Nearly Naked Military Challenge Coin for participating, but those who complete the loop TEN TIMES to earn the exclusive ALL THE WAY military patch!
WHY "NEARLY NAKED?"
We've stripped this military conditioning hike of all the strict rules, uniforms, and combat gear. Ruckers are encouraged to have fun and wear whatever they like to show off their patriotism and celebrate our Heroes. Whether it's short shorts, superhero costumes, or your favorite red, white and blues, feel free to ruck in style!
WHAT TO EXPECT?
The NEARLY NAKED RUCK MARCH is a fun, family-friendly event! Great music and positive energy will be provided by the talented DJ/MC team at Bennyk Entertainment. A wide assortment of local business vendors will be onsite adding to the party atmosphere. Food and drinks will be available for purchase as well. Above all, expect high levels of patriotism and community at our Opening and Closing ceremonies.
WHAT DOES IT SUPPORT?
The 23rd Veteran is committed to helping end veteran suicide. It hosts RECON, a unique 14-week program for veterans living with trauma. It combines outdoor wellness & team building, physical fitness, and social acclimatization to holistically treat the symptoms of post traumatic stress. Every graduate of this program has reported living a healthier, happier life after the experience. Learn more about the organization by visiting our website.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE?
REGISTER: Either sign-up individually, or find a group of positive, fun-loving friends and get a team registered HERE! The more, the merrier!
RAISE: Help the cause by raising money through your personal network and social media. Top fundraisers get recognized at the event!
RUCK: Load a pack with food and supplies to donate at the finish line! Ruck one mile to give back or 10 miles to go all the way!
