We are excited to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Ruck Life on May 31, 2025, at Mont du Lac Resort. This impactful event raises funds to support our mission of helping veterans build happier, healthier lives. This is a family-friendly event, and leashed dogs are welcome to participate. Registration is now open, with prices increasing after February. The cost is $79 for adults, $35 for students, and children ages 5 and under, as well as volunteers, can join for free. Check-in begins at 10:30 AM at Mont du Lac Resort, with the hike starting at noon. The course is a 2-mile loop, and participants can complete up to 5 loops, totaling 10 miles. Ruckers are encouraged to pack their rucksacks or backpacks with toiletries, non-perishable food, clothing, and supplies to donate. These donations will be collected at the end of the course and will benefit the DAV of Carlton County Chapter 18.

Join us for Head of the Lakes United Way's Day of Caring on Wednesday, June 11th! Day of Caring is a community-wide event where hundreds of volunteers complete projects for local non-profit agencies. Volunteering is a direct and hands-on effort to help advance the missions of these local organizations. Not only does Day of Caring provide non-profits with valuable resources, it is also a great opportunity to educate volunteers about the important work non-profit organizations do in our community. Recruit your friends, family or co-workers to lend a hand. Join us for Head of the Lakes United Way's Day of Caring on Wednesday, June 11th!
