RUCK & BBQ BASH

Fayetteville, GA • July 11, 2026

Join us for the 4th annual Ruck & BBQ Bash at Camp Southern Ground as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and honor the men and women who have fought for our freedom.

This family-friendly event brings veterans, families, and our community together for a day of purpose and action. Whether you’re taking on the 5K ruck, a member of our hype squad, or simply showing up to make a difference, every step helps support Camp Southern Ground’s Warrior Programs and veterans thriving in life after service.

What to Expect

Enjoy a day filled with a 5K ruck, live music, BBQ, a Vendor Village, corporate team tents, fundraising challenges and prizes, a Corporate Challenge, and a kids’ military fun zone. It’s a meaningful day designed for all ages to connect, celebrate, and give back together.

New This Year: Build a team and fundraise for Warrior Programs

When you register for the Ruck, you’re joining a community that supports veterans and their families. New this year, you can take it a step further by creating or joining a fundraising team for Camp Southern Ground – because when we come together in support of our veterans and their families, we fuel lasting impact.

During registration, look for the option to start your own fundraiser or join an existing one. All participants are eligible to win prizes!

Tickets and sponsorships are available now. We can’t wait to see you at Camp Southern Ground!
