Can You Handle The Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge?

Men and women ages 13 and up have a unique opportunity of testing their personal fitness levels against members of the elite Navy SEAL community.

The Navy Seal Fitness Challenge consists of a 500-yard swim, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and a 1.5-mile run. The Fitness Challenge is an athletic competition with an overriding goal of promoting physical fitness and increasing awareness of SEALs and Navy Special Warfare/Special Operations communities. The Fitness Challenge is identical in nature to the Navy SEAL Physical Screening Test; the test SEAL candidates must pass in order to get into the rigorous training program.

The public Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge event will take place on Saturday, March 14th, in the Arizona State University Student Recreation Complex, 400 East Apache Blvd. in Tempe. To learn more about the event and to pre-register, please visit sealfitnesschallenge.com. Registration is free.
