To celebrate our heroes, we present to you the Emerald Coast Honor Games! A day of competition, honor, community, fun, food, and world class views. Home to the “World’s largest U.S.A. flag,” this celebration will be both historic and unique.
The day will begin with the “Ruck 22” event at 5:30 a.m. As statistics show, approximately 22 veterans commit suicide every day. To honor those heroes who have taken their lives, the community has the opportunity to engage, interact, and join area soldiers in an honorary “Ruck March” entailing 22 full laps around Destin Middle School’s track. To sign up for “Ruck 22” please visit, www.emeraldcoasthonorgames.com/copy-of-competition-1.
Immediately following Ruck 22 an opening ceremony, complete with the National Anthem, raising of the Colors, invocation, special guest speakers, and a moment of silence, will kick off the competition. Hundreds of competitors will then embark on a day of strength, conditioning, and grind during 4 major fitness competition events.
Following the “Ruck 22” march, LuLu’s Destin will be hosting an “Honor Breakfast” open to the community. Guest speakers such as Congressman Matt Gaetz, Representative Mel Ponder, and members of the Special Operations Survivors will also be joining the breakfast. Doors open at 7:15 a.m. and tickets are $10 at the door.
The Emerald Coast Honor Games competition begins promptly at 9:00 a.m. and will feature four major workout events that will be completed in teams of two. The workouts will provide scoring opportunities to produce winners in each of the divisions, which are broken down by age range. The competition will also feature two categories, “RX/Elite” and “Scaled/Challenger.”
Family, friends, and spectators are encouraged to come out and watch this amazing spectacle. With popular vendors, HUGE raffle and silent auction items, special VIPs, local heroes, music, food, kids area, and other patriotic ways to engage, the Emerald Coast Honor Games is sure to provide everyone an opportunity to show our pride and honor!
