On Saturday, April 16, more than 400 Massachusetts Tough Ruck marathoners began their 26.2-mile journey at Fenn School, crossed North Bridge, and traversed Bedford along the Reformatory Branch Trail and the Minuteman Commuter Bikeway on their way to Bow Street in Lexington. Once there, they reversed course for the trip back.
A fundraising mission to support Military Friends Foundation, a Boston 501(c)3 organization to honor fallen heroes and raise funds to support fallen military and first responders, aligned with the Boston Athletic Association to award Boston Marathon ribbons to each ‘Rucker’ who completed the full 26.2 miles.
The first finisher Andrew Mayne completed the course at 3:44:50. In all, more than $400,000 was raised.
Bedford’s American Legion Riders, Chapter 221, plans its first fundraising “Battle Road Ruck and Ride”—a 14-mile ruck and a 50-mile motorcycle ride—on Saturday, May 7. .
