Noblesville, United States • 16 May 2026

Event Overview

The Peace Officer Memorial Endurance Ruck is a 5th annual event taking place at Harbour Shores Church in Cicero, Indiana. It features two main activities: a timed 4 Hour Ruck and a separate 5K Trail Ruck.

Course Details

The course is a 1-mile loop, described as mostly unpaved. Participants repeatedly complete this loop. The 5K Trail Ruck requires three laps, which is just under 5 kilometers in total distance.

Both the 4-hour and 5k events require participants to carry a rucksack (backpack) loaded with 10% of their body weight for the duration. The event is designed to be inclusive, welcoming all ages and fitness levels, with participants as young as 5 mentioned. Since it is an endurance event, each registrant gets a space to set up a canopy, chairs, and coolers for rest and recharging.
