Husky Run & Ruck 10K

The Husky Run & Ruck is a Veterans Day weekend event held on the University of Connecticut's Storrs campus, featuring a 10K run, 5K run/walk, and an untimed 1-mile fitness walk. The courses explore the campus and surrounding rural Mansfield-Storrs area, with the 10K including the challenging Bonemill loop, a notable route honoring Navy SEAL and UConn athlete Kyle Milliken. Participants pass the Ultimate Sacrifice Memorial, where a Blackhawk helicopter lands during the race.

The event offers long-sleeve technical shirts, post-race festivities, and a kids' fun run. Proceeds support military and veteran scholarships through UConn’s Veterans Affairs and the Kyle Milliken Fund. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
