The 2018 10K Ruck for Vets event hosted by the Knoxville VFW takes place today.
Participants will carry 35 pounds of gear and can walk, run or jog with all proceeds from the event going towards the VFW 3519 Relief Fund. Registration begins at 8:30, with the run/walk beginning at 9am at the Knoxville VFW. Vice Commander of the Knoxville VFW Michael Braman tells KNIA/KRLS News this is a family event and even if you don’t participate in the ruck you are still welcome to come and have a good time. The event will include the run/walk, live music, guest speakers, a beer garden, and food throughout the day. The KNIA/KRLS Lil’ Big Red Radio will be on location playing music and making announcements.
