Husky Run & Ruck 10K, 5K and Fitness Walk

Husky Run & Ruck 10K, 5K and Fitness Walk takes place in Storrs, Connecticut, on November 8, 2026. The 10K, the 5K and a 1-mile walk all start at 8:30 a.m. and begin and finish on the UConn Storrs campus. The event honors veterans and raises money for military scholarships awarded through UConn's Office of Veterans Affairs; the routes run through campus and the surrounding area and include a stop at the Ultimate Sacrifice memorial, where participants are invited to pay tribute to Navy SEAL Kyle Milliken. A kids' fun run, post-race festivities at the UConn Student Recreation Center and a long-sleeve technical shirt round out the day.

Choose by intent: the 10K if you want a genuine race effort, the 5K if you are checking where your fitness sits, the walk if you are bringing people who would rather talk than breathe hard.
