FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
South Georgia Ruck Returns November 22 to Support Vashti’s Mission
Presented by Vashti & CrossFit Townie
Thomasville, GA — The South Georgia Ruck is returning to the Vashti campus on Saturday, November 22, 2025, bringing the community together for a morning of movement, connection, and purpose. Presented by Vashti in partnership with CrossFit Townie, this annual 5K ruck aims to raise awareness and support for the services Vashti provides to youth and families across Southwest Georgia.
The event will take place from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Vashti’s main campus, located at 1815 E Clay Street, Thomasville, GA. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are invited to attend.
A ruck is a walk completed with weighted backpacks, an accessible and community-building activity designed to promote physical and mental wellness. Whether participants choose a light pack or a full ruck setup, everyone is encouraged to move at their own pace and enjoy the camaraderie of the morning.
“CrossFit Townie is honored to partner with Vashti again this fall,” said Coach Toni Sisco, owner of CrossFit Townie. “This event represents what our community is all about, supporting one another, showing up with purpose, and investing in the future of the kids who rely on Vashti’s programs.”
