Our soldiers and first responders lay it on the line every day—will you?
With the nation’s 3rd largest Veteran population per capita AND thousands of First Responders along the Emerald Coast, our area is acutely aware of the sacrifices of our brave men and women defending the front lines in a world of chaos and evil. To celebrate our heroes, a day of competition, honor, community, fun, food and world class views will be held at the home of the “World’s largest U.S.A. flag.” Situated at the south end of the Mid Bay bridge, Legendary Marine, Legendary Yacht Club, Legendary Marina, Lulu’s restaurant, Destin Middle School and Destin Commons will all converge to create a one of kind, world class venue!.
The event kicks off with the 4th annual “Ruck 22” event, which is open to the entire community (all ages) on November 7th. The community, competitors, vendors, special guests, Defenders of the Front Line and bystanders can come out early, later or the entire day!
Across our great land, the statistics sadly show that approximately 22 Veterans commit suicide everyday—but one is too many. To honor these heroes, you can engage, interact, and join area soldiers in this honorary ruck march. Beginning at Legendary Marine and continuing throughout Destin Commons property, “marchers” will complete the equivalent to 22 full laps around a running track. Bring your entire family and do something special to let our Veterans know that you stand in support of their sacrifice.
The Emerald Coast Honor Games also features a fitness competition with various divisions to bring out your best inner warrior! (Due to Covid19 restrictions – the fitness competition will be a virtual event.)
With vendors, HUGE raffle and silent auction items, special VIPs, local heroes, music, food and other patriotic ways to engage, the Emerald Coast Honor Games allows everyone an opportunity to help in the goal of raising $100,000 for Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office – Sheriff’s Star Charity, ACA, Special Ops Survivors, Special Forces Association Chapter 7 and Healing Paws for Warriors.
