Event Sponsors

The Second Service Foundation, the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Conflict Kinetics and its nonprofit partner SafeHouse Sim™

Join the Second Service Foundation and our sponsors, the Virginia Department of Veterans Services, and Conflict Kinetics for a Memorial Day weekend community event: the Tactical Tribute Challenge. 

 

The Tactical Tribute Challenge is designed to test and inspire you with a brief memorial service followed by a hero workout and elite marksmanship training. Local small business Conflict Kinetics is renowned for their cutting-edge tactical training systems, and the support it gives to the military community. Participating in this physically and mentally demanding workout will serve as a poignant reminder of the tremendous sacrifices made by our military.

 

Together, let’s unleash our strength while honoring our fallen.

We want to keep the “memorial” in “Memorial Day” by honoring the names of American heroes who selflessly gave their lives in service to our country. Our Tactical Tribute Challenge is an event for the community and families to come together to remember the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice.


If you’d like to pay tribute to a fallen hero, please share their name with us for recognition during our Tactical Tribute Challenge. We will display their name during the ceremony and workout. 

  

Thank you for entrusting us to honor our nation’s heroes.

"1,000 for 1,000"
MEMORIAL HERO WORKOUT

Against the backdrop display of the names of 1,000 fallen heroes, each Tactical Tribute Challenge participant will perform a self-paced workout of 1,000 reps or 1,000 steps. 

 

This self-paced workout is designed for participants at any fitness level.

 

Examples:

  • Easiest: Walk or run for 1,000 steps (approximately 0.5 miles on a pre-marked course)
  • Medium: Combine a shorter walk or run with repetitions of your favorite calisthenics for a total of 1,000 combined reps or steps.
  • More Challenging: Do 1,000 repetitions of calisthenics (e.g., any combination of push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, mountain climbers, burpees, or whatever else you prefer)

 

You choose the workout. Every step and every rep is made in remembrance of our fallen friends, family members, and comrades. 

Following the memorial workout, the Conflict Kinetics team — trainers of some of our most elite military units — will lead interested participants in a series of hands-on tactical training exercises on their synthetic marksmanship training system. This technology users lasers instead of live ammunition for a safe and fun training experience. 

 

Conflict Kinetics (CK) is the industry innovator in human performance optimization.
