On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated in New York Harbor. A gift from the people of France, Lady Liberty has stood for 140 years with her torch held high…a symbol of freedom, hope, and the promise of America to generations arriving on our shores. 

This October, we’re celebrating that anniversary the GORUCK way: by picking up something heavy and holding it over our heads. Welcome to Liberty’s Torch, a four-round burnout WOD designed to set your shoulders ablaze. The numbers 10 and 28 commemorate Liberty’s October 28 dedication, while every round ends with a 100-meter overhead carry. 

Your shoulders may beg you to lower the torch. Lady Liberty hasn’t put hers down since 1886. Neither should you.
