Ruck March participants logging miles separately, but together, to raise awareness

The fifth annual The Things They Carry Ruck March is happening — albeit differently.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the annual march over highways covering 322 miles between Memorial Stadium and Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium will not happen, but participants are still logging miles to raise awareness for the epidemic of veteran suicide. There will also be a friendly competition with the University of Iowa to see which team logs the most miles.
