A "ruck march" is a organized walk by people each carrying a heavy "ruck" (backpack) to honor military veterans. Participants and their companion animals were encouraged to pack their rucks with items like dog bones, cat toys or pet food for the Animal Protective League. The march began in downtown Kent and used the Lester A. Lefton Esplanade to walk through the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø campus all the way to Dix Stadium.
