What the "Ruck"?
Ruck is the German Word for Backpacking and has been used through the trail community as a name for events that help you get out and backpack.  This day long event is designed to help all sorts of backpackers from novice to expert get prepared for the hiking season.  We will have a specific focus on those attendees looking to set out on their first long distance hike whether it be the Pacific Crest Trail, Timberline Trail, Camino de Santiago, Continental Divide Trail, Wonderland Trail, John Muir Trail, or any other trail your heart desires.

Whether you are on trail for a few days or several months, if you're hiking this summer, this is the event to attend.

This event includes bagel breakfast and full, hot lunch. Free Happy Hour and  a special day of discount at Thunder Island Brewing
