About us

Longevity Cities Houston is a community for longevity, health and wellness meetups in Houston, Texas, and the surrounding area. We connect people interested in healthy aging through opportunities to meet, move and learn together. Healthspan describes the years of life spent in good health, giving our conversations a focus on living well as we grow older.

A past Arboretum Sunset Hike brought members together outdoors. The calendar also includes a planned outdoor mobility session at Richard & Meg Weekley Park in Cypress, led by a physical therapist. These examples show two ways to take part: an informal walk in company and an activity with a specific leader and format. The individual event listing explains what to expect and who the activity is suitable for. Check the latest details when deciding whether to attend.

Houston is part of the fast-growing English-speaking Longevity Cities community for longevity, health and fitness. Beginners are welcome, as are people with an established interest in longevity. You do not need specialist knowledge to join; curiosity and an interest in meeting others are a good place to start.

Joining the group and attending our own community meetups is free. Please pay for your own food and drinks. Any partner event costs will appear in the listing. Before you RSVP, check the event language, meeting point and participation requirements, particularly for an outdoor activity.

Longevity Houston invites you to a free group ruck (a walk with a weighted pack on your back) at Memorial Park in Houston on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

## What is this about?

Thanksgiving is behind us, which means a lot of us are carrying a little extra weight. So let's ruck it off: this time you carry the weight on your back, on purpose, and walk it out in good company.
Rucking is one of the simplest ways to get stronger and move more without a gym, because you only need a pack and a pair of legs. Walking with a bit of load builds strength in your back, hips and legs while it keeps your heart rate up, and it is easy on the joints compared with running.
No guilt and no calorie math, just a Sunday walk at noon with friendly people.

## What to expect
- We meet at the picnic loop in Memorial Park and set off together at 12:00.
- The route is 1.2 miles on the blue trail, an easy loop that you can walk at your own pace.
- Bring a backpack, a rucksack or anything you can strap on your back, and add as much weight as feels comfortable to you.
## Who is it for?

Everyone. Whether you ruck every week or have never put a pack on, you are welcome to join us and walk at the speed that suits you.

## Good to know
- Entry is free.
- Meet at the picnic loop in Memorial Park.
- Bring a backpack, rucksack or anything you can carry on your back.
Free to join. RSVP to save your spot.
