The Woodforest community is gearing up for an exciting and meaningful event—the first

Annual Woodforest Veterans Day Ruck/Walk, scheduled for Saturday, November 9th, at

9:00 a.m. This inaugural event is more than just a walk; it’s a powerful way to honor our

veterans, foster community spirit, and get some great exercise in the process.

Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or someone who enjoys a leisurely stroll, the

Woodforest Veterans Day Ruck/Walk is designed to be inclusive of all fitness levels.

Participants can choose to wear a pack, weight vest, or simply come as they are. The

goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone can participate, regardless

of physical ability.

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with veterans, their families, and

neighbors. Walking or rucking alongside members of our community is a small but

impactful way to show appreciation for all our community members. It’s also a chance to

engage in meaningful conversations, share stories, and build bonds within the

community.

This Ruck/Walk is not just about physical fitness; it’s about strengthening the ties that

bind us as a community. As participants move through the scenic paths of our beautiful

Woodforest neighborhood, they’ll be reminded of the importance of unity, support, and

gratitude.

Whether you’re wearing a heavy pack or just bringing your presence, your participation

in this event will help make it a memorable and successful tribute to those who have

served. Mark your calendar, lace up your walking shoes, and join us for a morning of

exercise, camaraderie, and heartfelt appreciation at the First Annual Woodforest

Veterans Day Ruck/Walk.

We will step off from the Beerforest/Harvest Market Patio area @ 9:00 a.m. and walk to

the Christine Allen Nature Park and back while enjoying the ~5.5 miles. Hang out

afterwards at Beerforest for a college football watch party with some drinks and snacks

provided by our local sponsors. We look forward to seeing you there!
