Legacy Ruck and Roll – Richmond, VA 2026

The 3rd annual Legacy Ruck and Roll event will be hosted by the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation. This heartfelt initiative is aimed at raising awareness and funds for the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation (GWOTMF) and the Drew Ross Memorial Foundation (DRMF). Legacy Ruck and Roll brings together the community to honor the legacy of Post 9/11 servicemembers and support the families of fallen heroes. Participants engage in a ruck march, symbolizing the perseverance and dedication of military personnel. The event not only fosters a sense of community but also inspires patriotism and selfless service. Participants can walk, ruck, or roll based upon desires and abilities at this fully accessible event. There are two routes: a gentle 2-mile course or a slightly rugged 3.5 miles. Pausing at stations along the route allows guest speakers to share brief yet powerful messages to encourage personal reflection centered around the GWOTMF Mission: Honor, Heal, Empower, Unite. The courses are
