There’s something powerful that happens when we move together.
We want to start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who follows us, joins our events, and supports our mission. Your commitment means more than you know. We encourage all of you — veterans, active service members, families, and supporters — to register for one of our upcoming events and experience it for yourself. It’s more than helping others; it can truly change your life, both physically and mentally.
Our 2026 calendar is filling up fast — now is the time to be part of the mission.
At Strides For Service, it’s never just a walk, a ruck, a hike, or a workout. It’s a way to reconnect — with yourself and with others who understand the weight you carry.
For many veterans, the hardest battles aren’t seen. Isolation, stress, and the loss of structure can take a toll. But movement changes that. When you show up, put one foot in front of the other, and grind through it with a team — something shifts.
You build routine.
You build strength.
You build a community that has your back.
Every mile we walk, every ruck we carry, every workout we push through is bigger than fitness. It’s about creating a space where no one feels alone. It’s about finding purpose again, one stride at a time.
We’re not just working out — we’re showing up for each other.

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, Strides For Service is hosting the first-ever Spartan Trail Ruck on the official 10K course at Bear Mountain State Park, NY.
Instead of running the 10K light and fast, participants will ruck it — walking hiking/running the entire trail while carrying a weighted ruck sack (recommended weight: 10–35 lbs).
Event Details
• Distance: 10K (~6.2 miles)
• Ruck Start Time: 10:30 AM (Anthony Wayne Recreation Area)
• Purpose: Organized by Strides For Service to support first responders, military personnel, and veterans through health, wellness, and community.

This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself with purpose and join the Strides For Service crew on the trails.
Ready to sign up for the 10K and ruck it?
