We are partnering with Love is King and Columbia sportswear for an event this year called Ruck22. The organizer Chad Brown, a Navy veteran, started this event to raise to awareness around the suicide rate of veterans and highlighting the benefits of exercise and fitness in reducing these numbers as well as the effects of depression and PTSD. Participants will have the option of carrying a weighted 22 pound rucksack symbolizing the average number of 22 U.S. veterans who die daily by suicide. Presented by Love is King, a non-profit focused on making sure BIPOC hikers are welcomed into the outdoors, Ruck22 will be an outdoor, community-based event bringing people together to rally around this very serious subject. Fulcrum will be designing the obstacle course and activities that participants will be completing on that day.

The event is going to be held at Cathedral Park on 11/11/22 (Veteran's Day).
