Muster 5K Beach Challenge

Saturday, November 2, 2024 | 8:00 AM 

Run or walk one of the most beautiful beaches on Florida’s east coast–on the sacred ground where the forerunners to today’s Navy SEALs trained for Normandy. The 3.1-mile course starts on the beach with the rising or receding tide presenting added potential surprises and challenges!   The race will finish on Navy SEAL Museum property on the north lawn at the Mark V Special Operations Craft. Come test your mettle on our beach course before finishing at this historic artifact. 

The Birthplace of Naval Special Warfare:  The Museum tells the story of the Frogman from the beginning of Naval Special Warfare. The deeds and actions of the predecessors of today’s Navy SEALs established the benchmarks against which military Special Operations are measured today. Born on the beaches where the Navy SEAL Museum stands today in Fort Pierce, Naval Special Warfare produced tightly knit groups of men who trained for war and took their skillset and determination around the world with one goal in mind: “Win at any cost.” They cleared the way for others to follow, doing so for the love of their teammates and their country. Today’s SEALs continue keeping constant vigil around the globe to secure our freedom.

While you do not have to “win at any cost”, we encourage you to show your love for your country by wearing your most patriotic athletic gear in honor and support of our veterans everywhere.

Registration:  $30 through Thursday, November 1st, $40 thereafter. Veterans, active duty military and first responders $20 thru November 1st.
