Join us for a walk in the woods

Sept 19th Meet Location:

Upper Parking lot at Turkey Mountain. When driving North on Elwood Dr, second parking lot on the right.

What to bring:

Good walking shoes and at least 1 liter (1 quart) of water.

“Rucking” is a low-impact, military-inspired workout that combines walking with a weighted backpack to build both cardio and strength. If you’d like to try it, bring a backpack with your water and a few optional items to add weight—extra water (always a good idea), canned goods, or dumbbells. If you’re new to rucking, start with less than 10 lbs. We’ll go over best practices for gradually increasing weight.

We’ll begin with a short intro to answer questions and walk through what to expect. Then we’ll head out for a 1–2 mile loop together. If you choose to stop after the first loop, plan for about an hour total. Want more? Stay for an additional loop or two—you’re free to leave whenever you’re ready.

All are welcome!
