We are fired up about the upcoming events!
The month of May is dedicated to honoring our Team RWB military veterans who we lost in 2018. At the end of the month (May 27th) we’ll be doing The Murph in honor of LT. Michael P. Murphy, a navy seal. Each week of the month we’ll be honoring a different militaryTeam RWB member with a workout that will eventually prepare us for the full out Murph at the end of the month. Our workouts will take place at Phelps Grove Park at 950 E Bennett St, Springfield, MO 65807. These are our weekly Sunday Funday and Tuesday Throwdown workout groups.
Week One is in honor of two Eagle Leaders that were killed in the Borderline Bar & Grill shooting in November 2018 in Thousand Oaks, CA. (Daniel Manrique and Justin Meek) Every part of our workout will help us remember these two heroes. Please come out and work hard in remembrance of them.
WeekTwo is dedicated to Eagle Leader and CrossFit enthusiast Katy Young. Katy was an Eagle Leader in the Cincinnati Chapter. This week’s workout will be a little more difficult than week one.
Week Three is dedicated to Cadre Roony. This week’s workout was created when Cadre Roony was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. GORUCK worked with him to put this WOD together so that you can complete this virtual WOD in support of Cadre Roony. Cadre Roony passed away on April 3rd, 2019 after his battle with pancreatic cancer. Remember these workouts are on Sunday’s at 9:00 a.m. and Tuesday’s at 6:00 p.m.The new location is Phelps Grove Park located at 950 E Bennett St, Springfield, MO 65807. Look for Sean!
