The MTK Ruck is a community-driven endurance and awareness event focused on camaraderie and support. Scheduled for Saturday, June 13, 2026, this 22-mile journey through the heart of Benton County serves as a powerful reminder of the "22 a day" statistic, bringing people together to honor veterans and push personal limits.

Below are the essential details to help you prepare for the day:

📅 Event Schedule & Location

Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026
Start Time: 8:00 a.m.
Location: Benton County Fairgrounds, Boswell, Indiana
Route: The Ruck follows a 22-mile loop that begins and ends at the Benton County Fairgrounds in Boswell, Indiana.

👥 Participation Options

The event is designed to be inclusive, allowing participants to choose how they want to tackle the distance:

Individual: Complete the full 22 miles solo.
Team (Relay Style): Teams of up to 4 people can register. This "partial ruck" allows team members to split the distance, operating much like a relay team to ensure the full 22 miles are covered collectively.

💰 Registration Fees

Registration Type	Cost
Individual	$22
Team (Up to 4 members)	$75

🛠️ Gear & Preparation

Unlike traditional military rucks, this event is designed for accessibility:

Weight Requirements: There is no requirement to carry a weighted pack. Participants are welcome to carry gear if they choose, but it is entirely optional.
Attire: It is highly recommended to wear comfortable, moisture-wicking clothing and well-broken-in athletic shoes or hiking boots.
Parking: Ample parking is available on-site at the Benton County Fairgrounds.

🛡️ Safety & Support

Your well-being is a priority throughout the 22-mile course:

Rest Stations: Various points are stationed along the route where participants can stop to rest, hydrate, and refresh.
Care Vehicles: Support vehicles will follow the pack to assist anyone needing help or a break.
Law Enforcement: Local law enforcement will be present to manage traffic and ensure safety along the public segments of the route
