About the MSG Gary Gordon Challenge
This is a team-based military fitness challenge that runs alongside a standard run course. Two-person teams work through a series of stations while covering the route, hitting things like rope climbs, sled drags, sandbag loading, deadlifts, and water can carries in full kit, plate carrier included. Those who want just the run can skip the stations entirely.
The event is held on the installation, and anyone without a DoD base pass needs to register for a visitor pass at least a full day before the event. That step is worth doing early, since access to the base depends on it being processed in time.
