Join us on May 27
"Greater Love Hath No Man Than To Lay Down His Life For His Brothers"
The Murph Challenge is not just a physical test, but also a mental and emotional one. Participants are pushed to their limits and are encouraged to keep pushing through the pain and exhaustion, just as Lieutenant Murphy did during his final moments. The event is held annually on Memorial Day, and people from all over the world come together to honor Lieutenant Murphy and all those who have given their lives in service to our country. The Murph Challenge is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our military and a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.

The Workout
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.
This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor". On August 18th, 2005, CrossFit.com officially renamed it as "Murph" in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.
Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you've got a twenty-pound vest or body armor, wear it, but it is not required. You can also do a Baby Murph, Mini Murph, Half Murph, or participate as a 2–3-man team. Or, just come out to simply support those who are participating!
The event is free to participate, but if you would like to register on the official site and get your official gear, you are welcome to do so.
