Participants will be performing the “Murph” workout, with instruction from the Reebok CrossFit Bare Cove; the “Murph” was created in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005.
Michael Murphy was portrayed in the movie Lone Survivor starring Mark Wahlberg.
Former Navy SEAL, Gabriel Gomez, will, again, be in attendance and act as honorary chair.
The “Murph,” in its purest form, starts off with a timed, one mile run followed by 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and an additional, timed, one-mile run to finish off.
Don’t let this scare you off!
Whether you’re an athlete, haven’t worked out in ages, or are somewhere in between, the event’s CrossFit coaches are trained to modify workouts for anyone by scaling reps, distances and movements appropriately to make sure that all participants can safely take part in the event.
They can also accommodate those with physical challenges.
There will be four heats, and participants can compete as an individual, as a pair, or in teams of 5.
Participants on teams of 5 are allowed to run together but perform the sets in a relay-format.
The “Murph Challenge” can include the whole family as the challenges can be scaled to fit each athlete’s ability.
Participants are encouraged to have family, friends and businesses sponsor them by clicking on the 'Make a Donation' part of the registration, and entering the athlete’s name.
Prizes will go to the athlete who raises the most money.
New this year, the “Mini-Murph Challenge” will be open for athletes ages 10-14.
All proceeds from the event will be divided evenly among the New England Center for Homeless Veterans (NECHV), the Hingham Veterans Council, and for a scholarship for young athletes to participate in classes at the RCFBC.
