Veteran Appreciation Game - Game Ball Ruck Sign Up

In honor of the 22 Veterans who commit suicide daily, The University of Iowa Veterans Association will be Ruck Marching the Game Ball for the Iowa V Minnesota NCAA Football Game from TCF Stadium in Minneapolis, MN to Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, IA. Veterans from the University of Iowa, and the surrounding area will be carrying 22 lbs in Military Rucks during the March from Minneapolis to Iowa City, in honor of those 22 Veterans. Participants will bring items of personal symbolic value to weigh their ruck to 22 lbs. Participants will march in 6 hour shifts starting from Sunday, November 8th until Saturday, November 14th. Participants will be shuttled up to the location of the Ruck just before their shift starts, and shuttled back shortly afterwards. If you are considering participating, it is optimal if you would block off 12-24 hours to devote to the Ruck March. Thanks for your support of the University of Iowa Veterans Assocation and our Brothers and Sisters in Arms.
