Canton Run Ruck 5K

The Canton Run Ruck 5K is a November run/walk held at Plain Township Memorial Park in Canton, Ohio, beginning at 1714 Schneider St NE. The primary offering is a 5K for adults, students, and veterans, complemented by a shorter Memorial Mile Walk for those seeking a less demanding route. The team-oriented component is TEAM RUCK, where groups navigate the 5K course together by rucking, running, or walking. Now in its second year, the event's structure emphasizes a mission-driven day over a typical local race. Teams proceed as a unit, veterans are offered a distinct registration category, and the Memorial Mile provides a specific remembrance element to the program.
