No one is too young to participate! Ruck marchers 17 and younger can register for $17 and do not have a minimum fundraising goal. Let's show the adults what you can really do to help Lake County Veterans! But, please, always stay safe, walk or ride with adults if you are under 13, and practice safe social distancing. Registration includes a t-shirt that you can pick up at the LCVFS office in Grayslake or at the Ruck registration.

Veterans: you know that if you or your family ever need help, the Lake County Veterans and Family Services is here to provide it. We could not provide this assistance without the support of our friends, neighbors, and sponsors. By registering as a veteran marcher, your fees are reduced. You also agree to accept the mission to raise at least $220 from your friends, family, neighbors, and everyone you meet by sending them to your Ruck Up 2025 profile.

If you cannot march yourself but want to sponsor a veteran's registration, please choose this option. Veterans that are struggling in their own lives will sacrifice to help a fellow veteran any way they can. There are many veterans that would gladly march but cannot afford the registration fee. You can cover their registration fee + donate $2 in memory of veterans who have lost their final battle. We have a wait list of veterans that want to participate; we will let them know their registration fee has been donated so they can participate in the Ruck March.

Your registration includes a t-shirt that you can pick up at the LCVFS office in Grayslake or at Registration at the Ruck itself, and your own Ruck Up 2025 donation page so you can raise money in support of your participation. Spread the word, encourage your friends, family, and social media connections to support your effort, and help the Lake County Veterans and Family Services provide much-needed support for our veterans and families.
