FREE MUSIC CITY RUCK MARCH TO TAKE PLACE AT NISSAN STADIUM ON VETERANS DAY

Operation Strand Down TN, in partnership with the Bob Woodruff Foundation, is hosting a free ruck march this

Veterans Day in honor of fallen service members. This event will be open to all

active-duty military, veterans, Gold Star families and civilians.

Participants in the event will have the opportunity to complete either a traditional

ruck march race, where they walk, jog or hike the designated course while wearing

a weighted backpack or vest, or an honorary ruck with no weight. Individuals can

compete solo or in relay groups of up to four people, and every participant will be

given a bib containing the names of fallen service members to ruck in honor and

memory of.

This year, the event will be held on a course that runs through Nissan Stadium.

Participants will ruck a portion of the stadium, along with the Pedestrian Bridge,

throughout the three-hour timed march. This event will also include a free after

party scheduled to start immediately after the Nashville Veterans Day parade, with

live music, food trucks and veteran resources for the public regardless of whether

they joined the ruck.
