The Carry Rucking Club: Green Lake Movement Meetup & Launch Celebration!
Saturday August 15, 2026
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM (walk begins @ 10:30 AM)
Green Lake // meet @ Retreat Outdoor Patio
Start your weekend off right with The Carry Rucking Club—a meetup to celebrate our launch after being in preorder for one year + a weighted workout (walk + circuit) designed to help women move their bodies, get out in nature, build strength and connect IRL.
10:00 AM Try Ons // We’ll pop up at Retreat's outdoor patio. Learn about our brand, meet the founders, grab a coffee, try on our vest and see what makes ours the best option on the market for women.
10:30 AM Departure // We'll depart for our walk, heading north along the lake for a 50-minute brisk walk (~3 miles). Expect Zone 2–3 effort most of the time, with an optional spicy Zone 4 push when we hit the Green Lake Aqua Theatre stairs. A local fitness trainer will be leading a 10-15 minute strength snack (quick full-body circuit, good burn guaranteed), and then we'll return to the walking path and end at the branded tent.
Weighted vests are welcome but not required—come as you are. The first ten attendees can borrow and try The Carry Weighted Vest during the meetup.
What to expect:
Guided group walk/weighted walk
Steady elevation, paved path
Strength circuit to finish w/ an optional set of stairs
Conversation + community
Fresh air and a solid start to your day
A group photo + captures and tags by all encouraged

About The Carry
The Carry is a women’s strength and longevity brand creating a new fitness modality through beautifully designed weighted vests, modular weights, and programming made for real life.
Co-founders Esther Sedgwick & Cortney Bigelow have spent the past two years building the brand and its flagship product: a premium weighted vest women actually want to wear.
They couldn’t find a vest they loved, so they made the best option for women on the market: comfortable, adjustable in weight, machine washable, functional, and designed to look as good as it performs.
The Carry is on a mission to help women build strength and age powerfully—one weighted step at a time. Join the movement.
Order The Carry Weighted Vest—Adjustable 20lb Bundle—limited quantities in this first production run.
