The
Challenge
Teams of 1–4 ruck with ammo cans, American flags, and replica M16s. Feel the burden they carried.
Push-ups, burpees, tire flips, ball slams, box jumps — and a grueling water crossing at Queenslake. The course changes every year.
Elite · Novice · College ROTC · High School · Kids (modified). Non-competitive Walk option for supporters.
At the Finish Line
Collect custom bottles, each engraved with a fallen hero's name. A mission to collect all 19 honors their legacy.
Complimentary massages, laser treatments, and recovery services await every participant after the grueling course.
Free tattoos on-site: Mogadishu Mile logos, soldier names, or flags — a permanent badge of honor.
Free lunch, coffee, and snacks fuel the camaraderie as veterans and families unite in shared memory.
