31Heroes Workout of the Day (WOD)

The annual 31Heroes Workout of the Day (WOD) event will be held on August 3, 2024 at New Realm Brewing in Virginia Beach to honor and remember the 31 lives lost on Aug. 6, 2011. 31Heroes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, holds the WOD event every year on the first Saturday in August and happens simultaneously across the globe, in a local gym or other locations.
The WOD is an AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) in 31 minutes to honor the 31Heroes who gave their lives on Aug. 6, 2011. Each round of the workout consists of a 400-meter run with a sandbag, eight barbell thrusters, six rope climbs and 11 box jumps with a teammate. Like the warriors of our armed services, this WOD is about working together, sacrificing yourself for your teammate and accomplishing the mission as a unit. While one teammate completes the run, the other uses that time to tackle a round of thrusters, rope climbs and box jumps. When the teammate with the sandbag returns, the two swap duties, picking up where the other left off until the clock reaches 31 minutes.
While people will gather at locations worldwide for the workout, the Main Event WOD location is New Realm Brewing at 1209 Craft Lane, Virginia Beach. The event begins at 9 a.m. after a live performance of the National Anthem. Twenty teams (40 individuals) will participate in the workout every 40 minutes until early afternoon. Friends, family and spectators can also enjoy the event for free.
