Memorial Day Ruck
Veteran-owned craft cidery Cider Corps is hosting a Memorial Day Ruck on Monday, May 25. The event is free and open to any who would like to join. It will follow an 8-mile route from The Shop Beer Co. in Tempe to the Cider Corps taproom in Downtown Mesa.
The ruck starts with a 7AM meet up at The Shop Beer Co. at 922 W. 1st St. in Tempe. The group will depart at 8AM and walk to the Ash Avenue Bridge at the Tempe Beach Park for a group photo. From there it will walk along the Tempe Town Lake on its way to Downtown Mesa.
Cider Corps co-owner and Marine veteran Jason Duren started the Memorial Day Ruck as a way to walk with others to honor and reflect on what it means to serve. What started as a small gathering of veterans, friends and family has grown into an annual tradition.
The ruck is designed to be open and flexible for anyone and any fitness level. While many walk with a weighted pack, it is not required. The cidery follows in a golf cart with water and plans stops along the way for rest and refresh breaks.
