Save the Date - MHA Department of Veteran Affairs Ruck Walk 2025

In collaboration with the MHA Nation Veterans Affairs Department, we request that you please save the date for a Ruck Walk at the Three Affiliated Tribes National Park!

This special event is not just for fun and recreation, but also to raise awareness about veteran suicide.

This Ruck Walk will challenge everyone to a ~3.6 mile walk while carrying the weight of 22lbs. as a reminder that every day, 22 veterans lose their battle to post-traumatic stress on American soil.

A limited number of incentives including t-shirts and backpacks will be available on a first come, first serve basis.

Participants are encouraged to carry a 22lb. weighted backpack (NOT PROVIDED) to symbolize the 22 veterans who commit suicide every day. If you are unable to carry 22lbs due to physical limitations, or are unable to do the entire 3.6 miles, we still want you to participate in the walk and be a part of this very important cause.

Event is open to all ages and everyone is welcome!

More details will be available soon!
