Governor Jim Hogg Park

Join us for the 2026 Ruck for the Fallen on Saturday, May 16th, 2026, in the beautiful city of Quitman, Texas. This inspiring event is not just a challenge for participants, but a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Participants can choose to walk or run either a 5K or 10K distance, with the unique twist of adding a ruck—participants must carry a minimum weight of 35 pounds to compete for podium awards. Whether you join solo or with a team, this event promises camaraderie and a spirit of remembrance.
