13 running events in Falmouth, Massachusetts

Ruck4HIT is a team-based ruck relay that challenges participants to carry both weight and purpose across Cape Cod. The event spans more than 200 miles through all 15 towns of the Cape and takes place over approximately 36 hours. Teams begin in Falmouth and ruck to the tip of the Cape in Provincetown, where the first team challenge—climbing the Pilgrim Monument together—marks a powerful midpoint of the race. Teams then turn back toward Falmouth, completing a second team challenge along the return route before finishing at the Cape Cod Fairgrounds and celebrating together at the Finish Line Party.

Ruck4HIT features three divisions—Jethro, Jones, and HELOS—each designed to offer a unique distance and level of challenge while maintaining the event’s core mission. The Jethro and Jones divisions complete the full 200+ mile course and both team challenges. The HELOS division covers 100+ miles and completes a single team challenge, providing a shorter but equally meaningful ruck experience.

Across all divisions, athletes run 2–4 mile legs while carrying a 10- to 20-pound rucksack. The rucksack symbolizes the burdens carried by our military members and veterans during service and long after it ends. Each mile represents hardship, resilience, and the perseverance required to complete the mission together.

Created in collaboration with local veterans, first responders, active-duty service members, and community supporters, Ruck4HIT raises awareness and funds for Heroes In Transition, Inc. Proceeds directly support programs benefiting veterans, active service members, and military families. This event is grounded in a simple promise: we carry the load together, honor those who serve, and never leave a fallen comrade behind.
