MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A military-led fitness movement is turning stress into community strength.
The Miami Ruck Club celebrated its one-year anniversary this weekend with a 5K in Miami Beach.
More than 100 people attended Saturday’s event — including veterans, families and fitness enthusiasts — rucking through streets lined with military history.
Miami Ruck Club co-founder Esteban Cabanas and his partner created the club to help others push through mental challenges with physical strength.
“So the goal is that we’re trying to create a community. This is led by Marines, but it’s for everyone,” said Cabanas. “I want everyone to understand and show a way to release their stresses. Mental health is something we don’t talk about, and I want to make sure everybody has a way of releasing their stresses and talking about it.”
The club continues to grow, with plans to expand beyond Miami Beach to other parts of South Florida.
