The Basics of Rucking

What is rucking? Simply put, it's walking while carrying a load. That load might be a weighted rucksack, a hiking pack, a backpack filled with everyday essentials, or even a little one riding along in a child carrier. From neighborhood walks and local trails to mountain hikes and longer adventures, rucking offers countless ways to move, build strength and endurance, and enjoy the outdoors.

Join Coach AJ Massengale for a four-week introduction to rucking. Learn about different packs and carrying options, how to choose and manage your load, proper fit and practical gear, pacing, terrain, and how to progress safely at your own level.

Rucking can help build cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and stamina, and the ability to carry a load while moving. It can also be a fun way to get outside, challenge yourself, spend time with family and friends, and turn an ordinary walk into something more.

No experience is necessary, and you don't need to own special equipment to get started. Whether you're curious about weighted walking, love hiking, want a new fitness challenge, or simply enjoy being outside, this clinic will help you discover what rucking can look like for you.

And making the adventure even more fun, our four-legged companions, Eddy and Jerry, will be joining us, too!

Come ready to learn, move, explore, and find your own way to ruck!
