On May 17th, NEOPAT was proud to support the 2nd Annual SSG Kyle McKee Memorial Ruck, hosted by our friends at All American Rucks. It was an inspiring day filled with grit, camaraderie, and unwavering determination as participants came together to honor a true American hero.
This special event was created in memory of SSG Kyle McKee, a U.S. Army UH-60 helicopter repairer who gave his life during a peacekeeping mission in Egypt in 2020. His legacy of service and sacrifice continues to inspire, and the ruck serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and dedication of our military community.
Participants had the option to take on the challenge of the 10K Smoker (competitive ruck), opt for the 10K Friendly (non-competitive) route, or join the Family Ruck, making the event accessible to all ages and fitness levels. Every step taken was a tribute—not only to Kyle—but to all of our nation’s heroes.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participants, sponsors, and volunteers who made this event possible. Your energy, generosity, and spirit of remembrance made the day truly meaningful.
We look forward to continuing this tradition in the years to come—honoring the fallen, supporting the living, and building a stronger community, one ruck at a time.
