Presented by Aevitas Medical
Alongside the 6-mile ruck around Crystal Mountain in northern Michigan, we're bringing together physicians, physical therapists, exercise physiologists, and recovery specialists under one roof to give the community something rare: direct, unhurried access to preventative health expertise.
Whether you're curious about what's going on inside your body, want to benchmark your performance, or just need some dedicated recovery time, there's something here for you.

Ruck the Mountain is a 6-mile ruck event hosted by Crystal Mountain and Aevitas Medical. The six-mile looped route includes both flat terrain and steep inclines around Crystal Mountain’s property. Participants who wish to hike with a pack or ruck must provide their own. Packs and rucks are not required for participation in this event. It is encouraged that each participant challenges themselves to the greatest degree they can do safely. All specialist time has been generously donated by our team of physicians, physical therapists, and health professionals. Our goal is simple: help you become a more informed, more engaged participant in your own health.
