The Mission

When disaster strikes, our first responders don’t hesitate they move.
The Responders Ruck is your chance to move with them.

Hosted by Lifeline Power Foundation, this event brings together individuals and teams who believe that those who protect us deserve the same protection at home. Every mile rucked, every dollar raised, and every auction bid fuels backup power installations for first responders’ homes keeping their families safe and their mission unbroken when the lights go out.

The Challenge

Grab your pack, rally your team, and step into a friendly competition that blends endurance, community, and cause.

Each participant or team will create their own fundraising page through Givebutter to rally support from friends, family, and coworkers. Watch your progress climb the leaderboard as donations roll in — and take pride knowing that every step powers real resilience for real heroes.

🏆 Awards will be given for:

Most Funds Raised
Best Team Spirit
