Stack Attack: Dragon Slayer Ruck

Ruck 7.28 miles for a purpose!  Honor Veterans and support Pancakes for Roger's Housing Support & Improvement Grants.

Join Pancakes for Roger and Special Forces Association Chapter 19 for the Stack Attack: Dragon Slayer Ruck, a 7.28-mile ruck for a great cause.

As if that's not incentive enough, all in-person participants can join us for a special breakfast (brunch) after the ruck at the Famingdale Breakfast Club (included with your registration).

So why 7.28 miles? The distance has special meaning.

Major General (Ret.) Roger E. Combs, the inspiration behind Pancakes for Roger, served with Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 364 (HMM-364), the “Purple Foxes,” during Vietnam. Our route is 3.64 miles out and 3.64 miles back, honoring Roger’s service with HMM-364.

Pancakes for Roger’s mission is to create pathways to improve the lives of Veterans and their communities, carrying forward Roger’s legacy of service and mentorship.

Proceeds from Stack Attack will be earmarked for Pancakes for Roger’s Housing Support & Improvement Grant Program, which provides grants of up to $1,500 to Veterans for housing-related needs. Grants can assist with home repairs and improvements, accessibility and safety needs, and, for Veterans experiencing financial hardship, rent or mortgage payments.

Join us in New Jersey on October 10, 2026, or participate virtually from anywhere during the month of October.

Every mile has meaning. Every registration helps us continue the mission.
