Building a Ruck Club Community: Chad Haggerty from West Orange Ruckers

In this episode of The Rucker’s Edge, I sit down with the founder of West Orange Ruckers, Chad Haggerty, to talk about how a rucking routine developed during COVID turned into a thriving ruck club community.

We dive into what it takes to start a local ruck club, how to grow a team that keeps showing up, and why the rucking mindset goes far beyond fitness. From community outreach to reflective rucks inspired by Michael Easter’s 2% Mindset, this conversation is all about finding purpose under the weight of the ruck.

So, whether you’re just getting into rucking, thinking about starting a club, or looking for a deeper reason to train — this episode will remind you that it’s not just about miles and minutes; it’s about mindset, movement, and meaning.
