Hundreds Nationwide Honor Fallen Navy SEAL With Memorial Day Murph Workout
The 'Murph' workout, a challenging CrossFit Hero workout consisting of a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, and a final 1-mile run, all performed wearing a 20-pound weight vest, has become a widespread Memorial Day tradition honoring Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2005. Across the U.S., from Palm Springs to Ohio, Massachusetts, and Long Island, gyms and communities gather to perform the grueling workout as a tribute to fallen service members and to remember their sacrifice. The event brings together military personnel, veterans, and civilians alike, fostering a powerful sense of remembrance and camaraderie. In Wakefield, Massachusetts, Coast Guard member Jake Prusha is undertaking the Murph Challenge for 100 days to raise awareness for mental health and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, having already raised $15,000. The annual Suffolk County event at the LT Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum has grown significantly, attracting hundreds of participants, including former SEALs who personally knew Murphy, emphasizing both the emotional and physical aspects of the tribute. Through these events, the Murph workout serves not only as a physical challenge but also as a meaningful act of remembrance and community support.
