Welcome to the Mooresville Ruck Club
Rucking is urban hiking – carrying a weighted pack on your back. It is active resistance training. It’s also better cardio than running, because… running sucks.
Smiles and miles… that’s what we’re all about.
Ruck up! Find an event…
The Mooresville Ruck Club meets at least once a week for a rucking adventure, usually on Saturday mornings. Join us for a ruck in and around Mooresville. Find an upcoming ruck!

- Get stronger?
- Improve your posture?
- Have a healthier heart?
Get the most out of your time with Active Resistance Training. Walking just isn’t enough. Running..? Face it, running sucks. Ruck as exercise and burn three times as many calories and spend time outside talking to your friend who is rucking right next to you.
What is Rucking?
Rucking is Simple
You wear a backpack and walk… it’s a fitness thing. And, you’re probably already doing it. Hiking is rucking in the mountains and urban hiking is simply called “rucking.” Rucking can be done with any amount of weight.
Rucking is Cardio
Rucking is cardio for people who think running sucks. If you want to burn up to 3X as many calories as walking, ruck instead. Your heart pumps faster to get oxygen rich blood throughout your body, increasing circulation. And you can talk to your friend, who’s rucking right next to you.
Rucking is Scalable
The weight you carry adds resistance training to your back and shoulders, your glutes, and your legs with every step – resulting in strength gains without the bulk. Want more? Add weight, increase your distance, or walk faster.

We’d love for you to get in a few miles with us. Grab a backpack, throw some weight in it, and come out for a walk. Rucking is free, it’s fun (it really is), and it can be addictive. We hope you will see how easy cardio can be when you ruck.
