Organiser's Description

OPERATION JODY CAN'T RUN THIS FAST

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Jody skipped leg day, but we never do.

For those unfamiliar, "Jody" is the legendary character from military cadences. He's the guy back home causing trouble while you're away. This Valentine's Day, we're flipping the script. You're too fast, too dedicated, and too focused for any Jody to keep up.

This is a virtual challenge. That means you can participate from anywhere in the world. Run your neighborhood. Hit the treadmill. Find a trail. Whatever works for you. Track your mileage using your favorite app _(Strava, Garmin, Apple Watch, or whatever you've got)_, log your miles, and chase your goal throughout the month.

OPERATION WARRIORFIT exists to build community through fitness. Whether you're a veteran, service member, first responder, or simply someone who wants to be part of something bigger, you belong here. These challenges are about more than miles. They're about finding your people, building consistency, and crossing finish lines together, even when we're miles apart.

This challenge is focused on running, but stay tuned throughout the year as we roll out challenges for other disciplines including rucking, cycling, swimming, and more.

Whether you're spending Valentine's Day with someone special, your workout crew, or just you and the road, lace up and let's go.

Free to join. Donations welcome but never required.
