February rucking Challenge

Buffalo Soldier Ruck

Ruck 9, 10, 24, 25, or 38 miles in a National or state park, honoring the Buffalo Soldiers.

The Challenge

Choose your regiment. Ruck the park.

After the Civil War, the U.S. stood up several Black regiments, the 9th, 10th, 24th, and 25th, who became known as the Buffalo Soldiers. Alongside their military service, these units also served as some of the country's first National Park Rangers. This February, honor them by rucking 9, 10, 24, 25, or 38 miles, your choice, in a National or state park. Go a little heavier than usual, to remember the extra burden they carried under discrimination while serving.
