What is a Ruck Club?
A ruck club is a social fitness group where members participate in “rucking” together, which is the activity of walking with a weighted backpack. Ruck clubs foster camaraderie and community through a shared interest in the physical and mental benefits of carrying weight while outdoors, providing a social outlet for people of all fitness levels.Beyond regular group rucks, many clubs also engage in social events like getting food and drinks, and community service activities.
