DEARBORN, Mich.
-- If you are 13 years of age or
older, male or female, you'll have the unique opportunity to compare
your personal fitness level with that of members of the elite Navy
SEAL
community in Dearborn Saturday, May 10, 2008. The Challenge is free
and
will take place in the Recreation Center at the Ford Community &
Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Avenue.
The Navy SEAL Fitness
Challenge, which consists of a 500-yard swim,
push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and 1.5-mile run, will make its fourth
stop
in Dearborn. The inaugural Fitness Challenge tour kicked off in
Boston
earlier this year and continued in San Antonio and Los Angeles and
later
this year in Chicago.
"This Challenge
is a means to encourage citizens of Metro Detroit to
become more fit, and to utilize our SEAL standard as a way to measure
their own level of fitness," said Captain Duncan Smith, Navy
SEAL.
The Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge is an athletic competition with
an
overriding goal of promoting physical fitness. It is identical in
nature
to the Navy SEAL Physical Screening Test; the test SEAL candidates
must
pass in order to get into the rigorous training program.
Participants in the Dearborn
event will strive to achieve the physical
fitness standards, which are required to begin actual SEAL training.
In
addition, those who participate in the Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge
will
have the opportunity to interact with Navy SEALS and other Naval
Special
Operations communities. The Navy SEAL community will be increased
by
over 500 qualified, physically fit team members by the year 2010.
Interested in taking
it on? If you are over 13 years of age visit

to
