The Murph Challenge competition was established in 2014 in honor of Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient for distinguished acts of valor through the War in Afghanistan. Lieutenant Murphy was killed in motion in 2005, but his legacy lives on through the Murph Challenge, which raised over $2 million for Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy Scholarship Foundation. The annual challenge is a option to remember all fallen veterans; exactly what Memorial Day is basically about, coming together as an excellent team.
“‘Murph‘ is greater than just training, it’s a practice that helps us motivate ourselves, humiliate ourselves and sacrifice some pain and sweat to honor a person who gave his all.

- 200 push-ups
- 300 sit-ups
- 1 mile run (yeah again)
