Ruck for the Fallen event today on Latah Trail
A Ruck for the Fallen event is scheduled for today on the latah Trail to recognize the sacrifices of local military, first responder and law enforcement communities.
Those participating will gather at the gravel parking area at the southwest corner of Highway 8 and Mill Road on the outskirts of Moscow and starting promptly at 8:46 a.m., a time chosen in honor of the time the first plane hit the Twin Towers on 9/11 more than 20 years ago.
The group will walk 10.7 miles to Troy. Residents are encouraged to cheer on the ruckers, especially as we come into Troy.
Attendees are encouraged to bring nonperishable food donations for the Troy ACS Food Bank. For more information or to join a larger group dedicated to this cause, please visit the Ruck for the Fallen Facebook group.
