1 mile run

In 2005, a team of 4 Navy SEALs led by LT. Michael P. Murphy found themselves seriously outnumbered in a firefight with hundreds of enemy troops. Pinned down and under intense enemy fire, they were in desperate need of help, but due to the mountainous terrain, their communications could not be received. Understanding the situation, LT. Murphy moved to open ground to use his satellite phone, exposing himself to enemy fire. LT Murphy was mortally wounded making that call.
For his selfless leadership, courageous actions and extraordinary devotion to duty, LT. Michael P. Murphy was awarded the Medal of Honor, the first service member to receive the medal for service in Afghanistan, and the first Navy recipient of the medal since Vietnam.
Originally named ‘Body Armor’, this workout was LT Murphy’s favourite. The workout was renamed ‘Murph’ in his honour after his death.
JOIN US FOR MEMORIAL DAY ‘MURPH’ Monday May 27.
HEATS: 7AM 8AM 9AM
We will take on “Murph” in honour of LT Murphy and all servicemen and women. This year, as in past years, our efforts will go toward supporting the charity, K9’s For Warriors. This amazing organization supplies service dogs for soldiers suffering from PTSD from their military service.
