Team Shaw honored Murphy’s sacrifice by performing the workout at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, May 24.
“We coordinated with the fitness center, the honor guard, public affairs and got involved with a lot of people on base to get together to honor Murphy for Memorial Day,” said Senior Airman Derek Pyles, 20th Force Support Squadron fitness specialist.
The full “Murph” also requires the participant to wear a weighted vest to simulate the body armor of a deployed service member.
“The event went solid,” said Airman 1st Class Austin Perry, 20th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter. “Today was pretty awesome. Everyone came out and did a good job. Doing hero workouts means a lot, especially with the base and the community getting involved.”
Shaw’s 2018 inaugural Murph Challenge reminded participants of the sacrifice made by Murphy and service members throughout American history.
