2016 Navy SEALs Fund - Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield™ Virtual 5K Challenge

May will be our First Virtual 5K to REMEMBER our Fallen Heroes in commemorating Memorial Day.

November will be the second virtual 5K to HONOR all military members who are serving and those who have served in commemorating with Veteran's Day.

There will be two unique medals, so you will want to participate in both events to build your Navy SEALS Fund – Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield™ Virtual 5K medal collection. Check out May's medal posted on this page!

Everyone who has ever served in uniform has felt the loss of a brother or sister on the battlefield, which is why each May we remember and honor them for their service. We ask everyone to join with us throughout the month of May by taking our 2016 Brotherhood Beyond Battlefield 5K Challenge in memory of a fallen brother or sister.

This year's bling is a very special Medal designed to remember those who never made it home. Let us remember each of them together. Tell us who you're walking, running, rucking, swimming, or tread milling in memory of. You can participate as an individual, a team, an organization, or office staff in memory of one, or several.

What is a Virtual Race? A virtual race is a challenge that can be participated in where ever you are

located. You don't have to run the streets if you don't wish to. Instead, you can walk around your neighborhood, walk or run on a treadmill in your home or gym, you can swim laps until you reach 3.1 miles, you can even participate in another race. As long as you get up and participate with us.

Who can participate in the Challenge? Anyone can participate. However, in order to receive the race medal, you must be a paid registrant prior to the end of the event period. We have varied levels to register yourself, your children and your dog. So get registered and get started!What will you get? All finishers get a medal!

How do I complete the 5K? The last two years challengers have Rucked, Walked, Ran, Jogged, Swam, Biked, and even hobbled their way through 3.1 miles or more!We appreciate the commitment and creativity of everyone who gets involved.

RACE MEDAL - Much like the Navy SEALs who earn their Trident every day, completing your 5K will earn yourself a uniquely designed race medal.

RACE SHIRT - This year the Race Shirt is ordered separately to keep event costs down, and increase the efficiency of race bling deliveries! Please show your pride in accepting the challenge and order your shirt at this link: http://navysealsfundvirtual5k.fundraisertee.com

KIDS - The kids are encouraged to get involved again this year. They can earn a medal and we even have Race Shirts in just their size, too.

FURRY WARRIORS - Your four-legged warriors are once again invited to join in the fun. They will receive a Pet Bandanna made just for them, using the same image as the shirt. Get yourself a shirt and you two will be a sharp dressed pair.
