On the morning of February 2nd, 2013 Navy SEAL Chief Chris Kyle and his close friend Chad Littlefield got in Chris’ truck with a Marine veteran for a day trip out to Rough Creek Lodge in Glen Rose, TX about 90 minutes to the west. The day was to be spent at one of the ranges there at RCL shooting guns and bonding…to help that very troubled Marine Corps veteran. Betrayal and tragedy struck when that Marine turned a gun on Chris and Chad and killed them there where they stood.
The goals of this event have ALWAYS been to honor and remember Chris Kyle and Chad Littlefield, and help raise money for veteran-oriented charities that have shown a solid track record of dedication to the veteran community and fiscal responsibility. We want to raise awareness for this tragedy and the ultimate sacrifice made by all these men. To that effect we’re putting on a nation-wide fitness competition AND hosting a series of Virtual Runs! 100% of the net proceeds raised by these event will be split evenly among the follow veteran-oriented 501(c)3 organizations:
Chris Kyle Frog Foundation
Navy SEAL Foundation
Operation Enduring Warrior
Combat Wounded Coalition
The Raider Project
YOU ARE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN BOTH/EITHER NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE AND NO MATTER IF YOU WANT TO COMPETE!
We are offering this opportunity to supporters ANYWHERE to sign up for one event…OR…sign up for ALL OF THEM!
The Fitness Competition will be composed of 3 crossfit-styled workouts spread over a 3 week period (1 workout released each week starting on 14-OCT-18).
