Ruck March 2026

July 23–26, 2026 | The 100 Mile Ruck March Charity Challenge

The 100 Mile Ruck March Charity Challenge is a military-inspired endurance event in which dedicated athletes will ruck—hiking 100 miles over the course of four days while carrying everything they need for the journey on their backs, covering 25 miles each day. Modeled after the grit and discipline of military ruck marches, the challenge tests participants’ physical endurance, mental toughness, and perseverance—all while raising critical funds to support children fighting cancer through the programs of Why Me & Sherry’s House, including support groups, financial assistance, family events, and more, all provided free of charge to the entire family.

Each day, athletes will set out at sunrise to navigate the next stretch of the 100-mile route. At the end of each day’s journey, they will arrive at a local brewery where they will set up camp for the night before rising early to continue on again the following morning. Throughout the four days, participants must carry everything they need for the event on their backs, including their gear, food, and supplies.

In true expedition style, athletes are responsible for preparing their own meals, setting up and breaking down camp each day, navigating the course, and tending to the wear and tear on their bodies along the way. Blisters, fatigue, and the elements are all part of the challenge, making the accomplishment of completing 100 miles not only a test of endurance, but also a powerful display of grit, resilience, and determination in support of families facing childhood cancer. 💛

 

Come to the breweries each night, cheer on the athletes, and encourage them to keep rucking on!
