ENTERPRISE, Ala. — The annual Sweat4Vets Ruck March is set to take place on Saturday, May 17, 2025, in Enterprise as part of the community’s Armed Forces Day observance. Hosted at the Church on Boll Weevil Circle, the event serves as a tribute to military veterans, particularly those who served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

In addition to honoring veterans, the event supports local charitable efforts. Attendees are encouraged to bring backpack donations that will be delivered to SOS Animal Shelter and Hand Up Enterprise.
The Sweat4Vets Ruck March is organized by Wiregrass Honor Flight, with a focus on building community ties and honoring those who have served. Participants are urged to register in advance to secure an event T-shirt.
The event is open to the public and welcomes individuals, families, and groups to join in a day of remembrance, physical challenge, and community service.
