Anchorman here.
I feel like it’s a cliche at this point to talk about F3 and the bonds built through tough workouts. If you’ve done it, you get it.

If you haven’t…you might be wondering how guys seem so committed to this thing.

Speaking for me, the glue started in sharing the suck at 0515.  But it got real sticky-like after my first mud run.In a world full of social media where people love to tear down, you find a group of guys who lift you up.  Cheer you on.  Run (slowly in my case) alongside you.

Which brings us to our latest idea:
> (means greater than. It’s math.)
An event that will need more than you’ve ever given, and will leave you greater than you started.

What’s > exactly? 
A 12 hour overnight ruck and endurance event.
This is not something to take lightly.  Training is highly encouraged.  (We will even provide you with a training schedule to make sure you get the most of this event.)
Here’s an idea of what to expect.

May 16.
  Anne Springs Greenway.  Fort Mill, SC.
