This event is centered around connection, wellness, support and getting outdoors. Whether you’re joining us for the hike and ruck, or exploring the booths and activities, or simply coming out to connect with others, we’d be honored to have you there. The RGV Food Bank has partnered with us in helping to fill all ruck sacks with nonperishable food items. After the participants have finished the ruck they will be able to take those items home with them!
