MEET THE host

Hey, I'm John Sachse!

As a Christian husband, father, 4th generation rancher, men's resiliency coach, endurance athlete, and officer in the Kansas Army National Guard, I've witnessed the negative effects of stress firsthand. Through my coaching business, RanchFIT, I aim to create resilient leaders by reducing stress and encouraging the pursuit of physically challenging endeavors. By providing tools and fostering a supportive community, we help individuals achieve their goals and conquer life's challenges.

Join us at Sachse Family Angus on Saturday, December 12th for our 5th Annual RanchFIT Ruck. Nestled near the rolling hills of Leavenworth, Kansas, these events offer a trail hike through pasture, hayfield, and crop ground in the heart of the Sachse family farming and ranching operation! New this year, we will have a rustic chuckwagon cook providing an optional lunch. You won't want to miss it!

Come be a part of this transformative experience and challenge the status quo in every area of your life!

What Others Are Saying

"One of the best courses."

"10 out of 10! I loved it.

"Highly recommend."

The cows on the course made it really feel natural. Could have been crossing a field in medieval Scotland or something. The pond, the creek crossing, the final long weave into the middle...the course was just really well done as far as a mix of slow and fast. I did a lot of races in 2023. Over 60. This course was one of my top 10...maybe top 5.

- Jason K.

The terrain was more difficult than I remember or expected, but that's part of the challenge (I kept telling myself that).

- Stacey L.

Camaraderie with the others doing the same thing. Also enjoyed how the trail had different degrees of difficulty, also love the scenery. Thought it was good it was open to people of all ages and abilities.
