Race Recap by Nancy Wardell:

I ran the Ruck Run 5k in Canton today and loved every minute of it in the rain and chilly weather!! This race was a huge tribute to our veterans and I felt honored to be running with so many of them, some even in weighted vests or ruck sacks! The course definitely had elevation changes, but there were tons of volunteers at each turn cheering you on like crazy! Great award ceremony in the fire department where you could warm up and their sponsors were set up giving away tons of free goodies!! Loved the hot chocolate and beautiful medals too! I finished with a time of 30:50 and pace of 9:56 and earned first in my age group!!! I was very excited!! Can’t wait to do this one again next year!
