THOMASVILLE- Vashti and CrossFit Townie are excited to announce the South Georgia Ruck, a community-focused 5K ruck event taking place on Saturday, March 15, from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Vashti campus.

Designed for both newcomers and seasoned ruckers, the South Georgia Ruck invites participants to experience the unique combination of fitness, camaraderie, and community spirit that rucking offers. First-time ruckers will have the chance to walk alongside experienced enthusiasts who will cheer them on every step of the way. Everyone who completes the 5K will earn their official rucking patch.

“Rucking is all about resilience, community, and personal growth, which are all values that Vashti represents,” said Toni Sisco, owner of Crossfit Townie. “The South Georgia Ruck is the perfect event for anyone curious about rucking or looking to connect with others in a fun, supportive environment.”

After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy a post-ruck celebration with local food trucks offering delicious bites. The event also provides an opportunity to learn more about CrossFit Townie, discover ways to stay active in the local rucking community, and explore how Vashti and Resilient Communities of SW GA Coalition make a lasting impact by serving children, families, and the communities in Georgia.
