About us
Mission Ruck is an outdoor fitness group built to make San Antonio a healthier and happier place. We do this by hosting events around the city designed to be fun, social, and healthy.
2025 was a year of tremendous growth, built on our monthly Pearl / Brackenridge Park hike. This event is designed to be accessible to people of various abilities and an approachable introduction to the group and rucking. In 2026, we'll be adding a bunch of new events and expanding the difficulty levels.
Don't know what rucking is? Simply put, it's hiking with a weighted backpack or vest. Regular rucking can be the cornerstone of your workout plan, helping build core and lower body strength and cardiovascular endurance. If you're not ready to ruck, leave the backpack behind and come hike with us - we're excited to meet you!
About the founder: Nate is an Army veteran and San Antonio resident who loves exploring the outdoor beauty of San Antonio. My goal is to host well organized, fun events for our members!
