The Murph Challenge is the Official annual fundraiser of the LT. Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation, presented by Forged®.
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.
At Raw War CrossFit on 5/27/2024, Memorial Day, we will be hosting Murph, with several morning heats available. We start with our National Anthem, then will run through the Northlawn Memory Gardens, on a path outlined by flags and pure patriotism, before returning to the gym for the rest of our workout!
Owners Todd & Amy Vice will be hosting a potluck cookout, with Todd manning the grill full of sliders. BYOB for a relaxing beverage after your Murph, and/or buy an iced coffee or other beverage from our guest coffee trailer! We will be getting started early, and wrapping up around noon to allow you to get to your other Memorial Day Festivities.
At Raw War, we highly encourage our athletes to officially register at https://themurphchallenge.com/ Once you register, you will not only be pledging to participate in the Hero WOD 'MURPH', joining a unique group of participants who pay tribute to LT. Michael P. Murphy, but you will also be contributing to a prestigious organization founded by the Murphy family.
