What’s a RUKCLUB?
Run Clubs are all the rage at the moment….and that’s because they haven’t heard of a RUKCLUB .. yet!
RUKCLUBS allow everyone to get a great workout just by adjusting the weight they carry. And guess what, you can talk, take in all the views and time in nature... way better than a run club!
You don’t need to be “fit enough” first. You just need to show up, work hard and have some tolerance for sweat and bad jokes. Every RUKCLUB is:
- Community led run by local organisers, not by an app.
- Accessible all fitness levels, sessions are scalable.

Bring RUKCLUB to Your Area
No RUKCLUB near you yet, but you’ve got people who’d show up? If you can gather 10 or more committed humans, Adam can roll in with a trailer full of RUKVEST or RUKSAK demos.
We’ll help you:
- Plan and promote the session
- Get everyone into a RUKVEST or RUKSAK and moving safely.
- Set you up with the basics to keep the club going.
To get started, simply email us with your name, location, how many people you realistically can pull together and when you might like to run your event.
How RUKCLUBS Work
1. Find your people
Use your existing community, gym, sports club, parents at school drop-off – whoever will show up.
2. Pick a regular slot
Same time, same few locations. Early mornings work best for most groups but some keep it impromptu.
3. Keep it simple
Sessions can be 45–60 minutes, they might be a mix of walking, stairs, basic bodyweight work or whatever suits the group.
4. Scale for all levels
Not everyone wears the same weight or moves at the same pace. Leaders help people choose appropriate loads and options.
5. Use RUK branding with respect
You can call your group a “RUKCLUB” and use the name in your socials, but don’t pretend to be an official franchise, coach or medical provider.
6. Stay in touch
We may check in from time to time and share new session ideas or events.
