About the 2025 Ranger Ruck
The course starts near a track at a campus building and heads into Schmeeckle Reserve, a natural area with trails winding around a lake. The route doubles back on itself, so you cover the lake loop twice before returning to the finish. Cadets and hockey players are posted along the way to keep everyone on track at street crossings.
Packet pickup happens race morning before the start, and a printed course map goes into every participant packet. There is also a vendor fair that runs through the afternoon after the race wraps up, and awards are presented once everyone is across the finish line.
