Join Rebellion Kettlebell Gym and Riverlands Brewing Company this Memorial Weekend on Sunday, May 24th at 10:30am for our 6th Annual Ruck to Remember.

This 3.5-mile community ruck walk is a meaningful way to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, while also raising funds to support veterans in need.

This year, proceeds will benefit the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans, an organization providing critical support and resources for veterans in our community.

The route will take us to the beautiful Fox River and through downtown St. Charles before returning to Riverlands Brewing Company with a food truck, drinks, and time together.

This event is not about being hardcore. It is about remembrance, community, and moving with purpose. All fitness levels are welcome.

Bring a backpack, comfortable walking shoes, and your support for our veterans. Add weight if you’d like, or keep it light. Rain or shine, we walk together.

Your ticket includes a commemorative event t-shirt and one pour at Riverlands Brewing Company. GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED.
