2025 Road to Recovery (Virtual and In Person)!
We are proud to announce that the annual Road to Recovery is back, this time in the Windsor, ON area. This is our flagship event to raise funds for assisting Veterans that are experiencing or approaching homelessness. It covers 2km for every veteran and first responder that we lost the year before. This year we will be looking at approximately 140km across 4 days. The event will take place in two platforms
In Person:
Date: September 10th – September 14th
Starting on the 10th at the ‘Ambassador and Walkerville Branch #644’ participants will meet between 1800h and 1900h (6pm and 7pm) and prepare for the following 4 days rucking from legion to legion. Each night we will be hosted over night by a local legion branch. Breakfast and dinners will be provided to participants. Lunch and snacks will need to be covered by participants. It is expected that participants bring their sleeping kit (Sleeping pad, sleeping bag, desired accessories). Most kit will be carried by participants, exceptions can be made if a cot is brought which we can have transported from legion to legion.
This event is an amazing experience, it will challenge you physically, mentally and create a genuine sense of accomplishment each day and when complete. In person participation will entitle you to a personalized T-Shirt (If registration is complete before Canada Day) and a Challenge Coin.
Virtual:
Date: September 1st – September 30th
This year we are bringing back the virtual event as well! To successfully complete the virtual event you must complete 150km in 30 days between September 1st and September 30th carrying at least 25lbs (Female) or 45lbs (Male) for adults or 10% of your body weight for youth. Participants can compete as an individual or in a team. All participants that complete the full distance under the RX weight will earn the R2R Challenge Coin (Individually Numbered). Additional recognition and prizes will be available for the team and individual that accomplishes Top Fundraiser, Greatest Distance Covered, Fastest Completion.

Thanks for checking out Ruck 2 Remember! We are a registered not for profit that was established to support veterans, police, firefighters and paramedics!
We organize two major events each year, the annual “Road 2 Recovery” which raises funds for “Operation: Leave the Streets Behind” and the “Canuck Ruck for the Homeless” which is an annual outreach event where the team collects clothing, gift cards, and care packages for the homeless and traverses the city handing them out to those that are most in need.
Additionally we support other events whose causes overlap with our own by providing man power and leveraging our experience in fundraising and organization. We consider ourselves a workhorse organization.
