Weight will be checked at race day registration. No one under the age of 18 is permitted to ruck.

WALKERSmust register as a solo run participant only and will not be eligible for awards.
Everyone who registers on or before before October 20th will be guaranteed a tshirt and finisher medallion. Those who register after October 20th are not guaranteed a tshirt or medallion, but we will do our best to make that happen on race day. You may upgrade your tshirt to a long sleeve tshirt for an extra fee during online registration. All registrants will receive an event specific bib that coordinates with the tshirts and finisher medallions.
The first 75 people who register will receive a swag bag filled with things to make your run or ruck more enjoyable - you won't want to miss out on it!
Active duty military personnel and veteran participants that register before October 20th will receive a commemorative Challenge Coin in addition to the tshirt and medallion, as Battlers Knob's way of thanking you for your service. We will try to make these available for race day registrations as well, but they are not guaranteed.
There will be a Post-Race R&R Party that includes free food and drinks (for participants only - food will be available for purchase for others), family oriented activities, cornhole, and an airsoft rifle/pistol competition. Each participant will receive 5 tickets for a Raffle of various runner related items to be given away at the R&R Party. Additional raffle tickets will be available for purchase, as well.
This 5K Ruck & Run is being held in conjunction with several other events that are planned at Battlers Knob that day in honor of our Nation's veterans for Veterans Day. There will be a Field of Flags Ceremony you may participate in if you choose and a Quilts of Valor Presentation in the afternoon that day. Battlers Knob is proud to support our veterans and proceeds from the day's events will be donated to our local veterans organizations.
