The Patriot Ruck is a 24 hour physical task Travis Smith, an army veteran, designed specifically to challenge his physical and mental limits. Why? To appropriately honor the sacrifices made by the active duty special operations forces (SOF).

The goal is to raise $10,000 for Big Sky Bravery, a non-profit organization that benefits SOF recipients by providing them with a weeklong post-deployment decompression program in Montana’s restorative surroundings. The funds donated to the Patriot Ruck will provide 10 flights for the SOF community.

This is Part 1 of 2 episodes. In Part 1, I get the opportunity to sit down with Travis prior to the ruck to discuss his motivation and “why” for this incredible feat. We discuss the challenges foreseen and his thought process leading up to this event. Following the completion of the Patriot Ruck, we’ll sit down again to debrief.

The Patriot Ruck will happen on May 25th, 2024 launching from Big Sky Bravery in Bozeman, Montana, and a secondary checkpoint location at Prime Performance and Physio.
