Carry That Weight

Caregiving is heavy. Grief is heavy. And no one should carry that weight alone.

Carry That Weight is Jack's Caregiver Coalition's annual rucking fundraiser honoring caregivers and those learning to live after loss.

Rucking, or walking with weight, symbolizes the emotional and invisible load caregivers carry every day. Whether you carry a weighted rucksack or simply carry your own weight, showing up is what matters most.

Date: Saturday, September 19th, 2026

Time: Program begins at 9:00 AM

Location: Hyland Lake Park Reserve,10145 Bush Lake Rd, Bloomington, MN 55438;

• You may also ruck from wherever you live as well!

Cost: Free to participate — we ask every Rucker to raise at least $50 before event day.

Routes: Choose from 1,3, or 5-mile routes

Weight: Optional — a rucksack, a vest, a back pack, or whatever you've got. Or simply carry the weight of your body. The weight is symbolic. The showing up is not.

• Become a Carrier — Every new Carrier adds one pound to Kyle's ruck.
• Start a Team — Rally your friends, family, coworkers, or organization.
• Become a Rucker — Join us in Minnesota or wherever you are.

We ruck in remembrance.
We ruck in solidarity.
We ruck because no one should carry the weight alone.
