WHAT IS THE 31HEROES WOD?

The 31Heroes WOD (workout of the day) was specifically designed to remember the fallen heroes of August 6, 2011 and honor their legacy of sacrifice.

The 31Heroes WOD will take place simultaneously across the globe, in your local gym or a location of your choosing, on August 2, 2025. If August 3rd does not work with your programming, don’t let that stop you from completing the 31Heroes WOD on a different day of your choice.

If you are an athlete, sign up to complete the workout at either a gym of your choosing or an individual athlete.

Create your fundraising page and raise $31 to receive your code to order your Limited Edited WOD shirt.

If you choose to fundraise you can receive benefits above this year’s limited 31Heroes shirt.

If you don’t want to fundraise, you are able to donate directly to the 31Heroes campaign.

Spots are limited, so grab a partner and sign up today!

For the athletic community, this is our moment of silence.

This is how we remember. This is how we come together to support those who’ve fought for us.

The 31Heroes WOD is more than a workout.

Jacob Spehar, brother of Nic Spehar, talks about what the WOD means to him.

This is a mission to give back to those who’ve given their all.
Grab a partner, and join the team.

Volunteer opportunities are available.

Like the warriors of our armed services, this WOD is about working together, sacrificing yourself for your teammate, and accomplishing the mission together. Partner 1 performs the workout listed above. Partner 2 runs 400m with a sandbag (45/25). When Partner 2 returns from the run, Partner 1 will grab the sandbag, and begin their 400m run, while Partner 2 continues the workout where Partner 1 left off.
