2022 ruck to recovery - 22 miles a month for the year 2022
Event information
Join Conquer Your War on their exciting second annual Ruck to Recovery! This year we turned up the event to contribute more to the Veteran community. Not only are we hosting our in-person hikes and events; we added virtual events to the list of things to do!
We find it extremely important to educate the community on suicide prevention for active-duty military, veterans, and law enforcement professionals. For the year 2022, we plan on hosting our Ruck to Recovery to be more inclusive for our community. The virtual event will be to hike or walk 22 miles per month for the year 2022 to show support and recognition to the 22 Veterans that commit suicide daily. Our Second Annual Ruck to Recovery will be hosted in-person in October 2022.
Our virtual event lasts throughout the year 2022 and is an at-your-own-pace challenge that asks you to walk or hike 22 miles per month for each month in the year 2022. This is roughly 1.38 miles per day, 4 days per week. The purpose is to show support, understanding, and educating the public on 22 veterans that commit suicide daily.
