Every Memorial Day, something unique happens inside CrossFit affiliates around the world.

People gather with a mission.
Tape their hands.
Lace up their shoes.
Write names on whiteboards.

And together, they take on Murph.

For some, it’s their first time.
For others, it’s a tradition years in the making.
But every rep carries the same purpose:
to honor the life and sacrifice of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy.

Murphy was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005, during Operation Red Wings. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his courage and selflessness in combat.

The workout Murph was one of his favorites.

Originally called Body Armor, it became a CrossFit Hero workout in 2005 and has since become one of the most meaningful traditions in the CrossFit community.

1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run

Done together.
Done with purpose.
Done in remembrance.

But Murph was never meant to be about finishing first or doing it unbroken.

It’s about showing up.

For your community.
For the person next to you.
For something bigger than yourself.

Every year, affiliates around the world take on Murph side by side — first-timers alongside Games athletes, scaled athletes alongside Rx’d competitors, entire communities moving together with shared purpose.

That’s what makes Murph different.

It’s not just a workout in CrossFit.

It represents what CrossFit is capable of becoming when challenge, sacrifice, and community come together.

Great comp and cause!!

For 10 years, Lift Up a Child has been more than a CrossFit competition — it’s been a way to change lives. 💙

As the longest running CrossFit event in the area, we’re proud to continue raising funds for children in the foster care system — helping ensure they have a consistent, caring adult in their lives.

We lift more than weights. We lift up kids. And that’s why it matters.
