On the pod: How to start a ruck club? WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

The Rucker’s Edge Podcast recently spoke with Triton Ruck Club co-founder, Jessica Flores: "How do you build a ruck club that people actually want to be part of?"

In this episode of The Rucker’s Edge, Spencer sits down with Jessica, co-founder of Triton Ruck Club, to break down exactly how a small walking group turned into a thriving rucking community with multiple chapters.

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own ruck club—or want to better understand how strong rucking communities are built—this episode gives you a practical, proven blueprint.
