Sponsored by the Air Force Sergeants Association (AFSA) Chapter 371, and hosted by SJAFB’s Group 5/6.

What is a Ruck March? “Rucking” is known as walking with a weighted rucksack (backpack). For the purpose of this Ruck March, participants will be carrying 15% of their body weight in non-perishable canned foods on a 12-mile course through Goldsboro, in honor and recognition of those who were prisoners of war (POW) and those who are still missing in action (MIA). This years event will honor both Captain Peter Cleary, an F-4 pilot who spent some time training at SJAFB, and was shot down over Vietnam in 1972 and declared MIA until his remains were found and positively identified many years later, and Goldsboro-native Marine PFC Dan Bullock who was the youngest of all the armed services to be killed in the Vietnam War at age 15.

Course: The 12-mile course will begin and end at Bryan Multi-Sports Complex. The route will take Ash Street down to the Veterans Memorial downtown, and the Freedom Tree, which is dedicated to Captain Cleary and all POW/MIA,  followed by a visit to Elmwood Cemetery to pay respects at the grave of PFC Dan Bullock. Participants will then head back on the same route to complete the course.
