This Saturday morning, we took on the Manion WOD 2026 🇺🇸 honoring 1stLt Travis Manion through the . Glad that it was the first Team RWB event for new Eagles.

Before his final deployment to Iraq, Travis left us with a simple but powerful ethos. “If Not Me, Then Who...” This mindset describes the sense of duty felt by service members and their families. Today it is a constant reminder for all of us to live with character and put the interests of others before our own. We carry forward the legacy of fallen heroes like Travis by leading with character and living out the “If Not Me, Then Who…” ethos.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to sweat, honor, and remember.

[2/14/26] Our GWOT 100 Check In for Bremerton was a blast! We knocked out 4.5 miles along the Bridge to Bridge route. Great to have some first time Ruckers come out for this one. Good times and good conversation with good people. Keep logging those miles!

[2/1/26] We Kicked off our GWOT 100 28 Day Challenge with Team RWB in Tacoma, WA yesterday morning. We had an amazing group of veterans, family members, and community supporters from all over Washington State. Seattle Ruck Club was also well represented. We even had a visit with our local harbor seals. There was a mix of runners, ruckers, and walkers with one rider for distances of 5K, 10K, and 6 miles along Ruston Way.

We started off with an intro to the GWOT 100 and shared some experiences from serving in the Sunni Triangle and honoring fallen teammates, followed by the National Anthem, and then we stepped out. We rallied back at the SP before heading over to Farrelli’s for a post-event social. Great way to start this 28 day journey!
Registration is open and FREE (https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/RaceGroup-1946374?raceId=191108).

First in person event of 2026 is in the books. A hearty band of ruckers met up at Dune Peninsula and stepped out to the Point Defiance Marina for our annual Polar Bear Plunge with Tacoma Parks. We met up with friends from VFW Narrows Bridge and VFW Puyallup, as well as some of our favorite local veterans taking the plunge.

Kudos to our Team for taking the plunge together and putting in some amazing side-stroke times getting to shore. Great start to 2026!
