Join our Chicago Veterans Ruck March 2022 and help raise awareness of suicide prevention efforts and fight to reduce the stigma around mental health. We’re addressing an important issue that affects many people every single day, including our military veteran community. An estimated 126 people die by suicide each day in the US, 17 of them being military veterans. Join us in our mission to spread awareness and reduce the stigma!
Every Memorial Day weekend since 2014, veterans, family members, and friends from all over the United States come together to walk in honor and remembrance of those we lost at home and on the battlefield. This year our Ruck March is 17-miles instead of 22-miles representing the 17 veterans we lose every single day to suicide, down from 22 veterans a few years ago.
Participate from anywhere virtually or attend in person. Invite your friends and family to join us on our route or map your own course. Completing your miles can be fun, you can walk. run, jog, or ride a bike. We hope to see you at this years, Chicago Veterans Ruck March 2022.
