22nd Annual Muster 5K Beach Challenge

The Museum tells the story of Naval Special Warfare from the very beaches where it was born. The deeds and actions of the predecessors of today’s Navy SEALs established the benchmarks against which military Special Operations are measured today. From the coastline of Fort Pierce where the Navy SEAL Museum stands today, Naval Special Warfare produced tightly knit groups of men who trained for war and took their skillset and determination around the world with one goal in mind: “Win at any cost.” They cleared the way for others to follow, doing so for the love of their teammates and their country. Today’s SEALs continue keeping constant vigil around the globe to secure our freedom.

Join us for the 22nd Annual Muster 5K Beach Challenge. The race will begin at 8 AM on November 7. We encourage you to show your love for country by wearing your most patriotic athletic gear in honor and support of our veterans everywhere. We also love to see our participants in previous and vintage Muster race shirts! *PLEASE NOTE: 5K SHIRTS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IF YOU REGISTER BY OCTOBER 14.*
