About the race
The Honoring Our Heroes 4th Annual 5K & 2 Mile Ruck is a fundraising event held at Camp Meridale in Meridian, Mississippi. This all-terrain race features a 5K run, 5K walk, and a 2-mile ruck, with courses winding through wooded trails, hills, and uneven ground on 170 acres of scenic terrain. The event supports Soldiers Freedom Outdoors, an organization aiding military service members, veterans, and their families by offering programs like retreats, blacksmithing, hunting, and fishing.
Participants enjoy nature, camaraderie, and post-race refreshments. Proceeds help raise awareness of suicide and PTSD among veterans, aiming to "Heal the Hidden Wounds of War.". Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
