The End of Watch Memorial Ruck Returns to Santa Rosa County September 26 – October 2, 2021. Teams of athletes will work as teams to ruck 368 miles over the course of 7 days while carrying one-pound weights bearing the name of an officer who died in the line of duty in 2020.
“Every day, men and women in law enforcement across this country leave their homes and families to answer the call of service to a greater mission.” said Caleb Cook, the founder of the event. “Tragically, this call to service can require a heavy sacrifice. This sacrifice is not only made up by the dangers that come with violent situations, but also the cumulative stress from the burden of the badge.”
Cook continues by explaining, “The End of Watch Memorial Ruck is designed to reverently honor the fallen and support those still on watch, while also building a stronger community between law enforcement and civilians through education and awareness.”
The End of Watch Memorial Ruck (#EOWMR) is in its fourth year and is organized by the End of Watch Foundation (EOWF). Funds raised by the event will go to support the mission of the End of Watch Foundation.
