Mission: Atlantic County Ruck/Hike
2024-11-24 09:30 - 14:00 | Atlantic County Park, 109 Rte 50, Mays Landing, NJ, 08330, United States
Join us as we show our Nation’s Heroes our gratitude and to honor their sacrifices for their service. From our Armed Forces to our First Responders, we appreciate those that have or are serving and we honor and remeber those that are no longer with us.
Our ruck/hike events are geared towards more than one purpose and are open to all of our Nation’s Heroes and those that support them. Be the American worth fighting for and join us for some outdoor therapy for better mental and physical health, while supporting others doing the same.
If you have a ruck sack, feel free to bring it with you. You could place 22lbs of weight in it in support of the estimated average of 22 Veterans a day that die by suicide or you could carry the name of a Veteran or First Responder KIA. Or you can just come as you are and support a healthy lifestyle and our Nation’s Heroes.
Studies have shown that activity alone is beneficial for both our mental and physical health, but utilizing nature increases the positive impact that it has. From the fresh air, to the calm environment, to having less distractions, being active outdoors in nature offers better benefits.
We will provide bottled water and some healthy snacks. We just need you !!!
We ask that you arrive no later than 9:30 am (please feel free to arrive earlier at 9:00) so that we can get everyone signed in and get acquainted be fore we hit the trails
