Fifth Annual
RUCK THE BAY
Join us for the 5th Annual Ruck The Bay!
Walk, Ruck, or Run our 10K course with a donation-filled rucksack, observing memorials of Fallen Military Heroes and helping to end Veteran homelessness. Ruck The Bay features music, food, and activities and is open to everyone. Proceeds benefit EUMA's Liberty House shelter for homeless Veterans.
Event Details:
Sunday - Oct. 13, 2019
Presque Isle State Park, Beach 11
Registration and Pre-Event Activities: 12 p.m.

As a Ruck The Bay participant, you are encouraged to fill a rucksack or backpack with items to donate to EUMA's Liberty House, Erie's only transitional shelter for homeless Veteran men. Suggested items
include laundry detergent, trash bags, cleaning supplies, twin sheet sets, mens undergarments and socks, pillows, towels and washcloths, and coin collections. A donation drop-off station will be located at the Finish Line. (Please note: any excess donations that cannot be utilized by Liberty House will be passed on to other EUMA programs and community partners that serve the homeless community.)
