About Patriot Challenge

It started with one soldier and one objective: to raise awareness.
Patriot Challenge began more than ten years ago when Army Ranger Cory Smith ran 565 miles from Fort Benning, Georgia, to his home in Indianapolis, Indiana, with the intent to bring awareness to the transitioning difficulties many service members face.
Cory sought to be the physical embodiment of challenges facing transitioning service members as they enter civilian life. Moved by Cory’s determination to raise awareness, GallantFew established the awareness and fitness event Run Ranger Run, now Patriot Challenge.
GallantFew’s Patriot Challenge is a nationwide tribute to Cory’s inspirational advocacy. Each February, the military community links arms with civilian patriots across America in honor of Cory’s commitment to ONE mission – to support and raise funds so that any veteran or service member can receive one-on-one mentorship to live a life full of hope and purpose. It is our belief that a veteran with a purpose strengthens a nation and that a successful transition and reintegration require community engagement.
A belated #medalmonday🏅 from the philly_marathon weekend!
Real talk I was a little nervous to do the Patriot Challenge (7 AM half marathon and then 11AM 8K races on the same day) because I`ve only ever done weekend long or shorter race challenges and didn`t know how the half marathon would go. BUT LOOK AT THE BLING🤣
In the end I ran the half and had fun+ felt good. My legs were stiff for the 8K, but I got the chance to run with my brother at a pace that felt good (thank goodness it was slower than I anticipated!). So if you`re scared to do the thing, just do it 🎉

How do you train for, recover and fuel for two races that are almost back to back?
That was a puzzle that piqued my interest. It got me excited to get out and start training again to see if I could figure it out.
There was a bit of trial and error but once I got things dialled in, I knew I had a plan that would work.
I had a blast training for this. It certainty didn’t feel like a chore, although I will say there was one double run day that I was less than enthused about 😅. One thing I discovered was that I actually run quite well after a really long warm up. Who knew? 🤷🏻♀️
I would definitely do something like this again. And likely not throw a trail race in the mix in a the lead up #alwayslearning 😅
Swipe through for details on what my training looked like, how I figured things out, how I fuelled and what I did between races.
Questions? Ask away or shoot me a DM!

Goals for the philly_marathon half marathon and 8K Saturday: #1 Have fun. #2 Don`t have an anxiety attack.
Both goals completed 😁
Lots of thoughts I`ll share over the next few days but thanks to all my fellow ambassadors, the pro athletes, Al & Crystal, and the people of Philly. I love this city ❤️

This weekend ended up different than expected, but not necessarily bad! Thanks to my bonus Abbott gift at NYC (#iykyk 😂), I had to pull out of philly_marathon this year. This was really sad at first since Philly is my favorite marathon and I was going to do the #freedomchallenge again this year because I loved it so much last year. But I felt better when I thought about the opportunity to cheer on my people who were going for milestones!!! laurenjawnelle got TWO PR’s in one day yesterday- a time PR on her half marathon AND a distance PR as she completed the #patriotchallenge (half plus 8k)!!! And I got to go in person to cheer with roadandtrackintrace (and met him in real life for the first time!!!) for makowski85 and justin_occ !!! makowski85 absolutely crushed his first Freedom Challenge (half plus 8k plus full marathon)!!! And justin_occ overcame medical issues and recent hospitalization to get to a strong finish on his marathon today!!! I am so proud of them as well as my fellow acsdnation and callingallturtles runners who crushed their goals this weekend!!! Congrats everyone!!! 🎉🥳👏🎊🍾🥂 #phillymarathon #gritty #friends
