Join us at Driftless CrossFit this Memorial Day for a special event dedicated to honoring our veterans and supporting the La Crosse Area Veterans Mentorship program (LAVMP). We’re hosting a day filled with fitness, camaraderie, and community spirit, all for a great cause. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to fitness, there’s something for you to take part in during this amazing event.
Participants can choose between a 5k walk, run, or ruck. Seasoned athletes may choose to take on the iconic “Murph” workout, a challenging tribute to fallen Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy. With options for all fitness levels, this event is a fantastic opportunity to push your limits, honor our heroes, and give back to our local community. All proceeds from the event will stay local, directly benefiting veterans in the La Crosse area as they reintegrate into civilian life.
Let’s come together as a community to make a meaningful impact and show our support for those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. Whether you’re sweating it out during “Murph,” pounding the pavement in the 5k, or cheering on your fellow athletes, friends, or family members, your participation helps make a difference in the lives of local veterans. Join us for a day of fitness, fun, and giving back this Memorial Day at Driftless CrossFit.
