Have you ever run a race that starts by jumping out of a plane into the Pacific Ocean? Unless you're a US Navy SEAL, probably not.
A three-man team, including former SEALs Jonathan Wilson and Robert Moeller, are going to take on one of the toughest physical challenges on the planet on October 25. The Specter Series, a 103-mile slog over air, sea, and land over roughly one day, is designed to push former service members to the brink of their capacities to raise awareness about the issues their peers face when they transition from the SEAL teams back into civilian life.
The course begins with a skydive into the Pacific Ocean, followed by a three-mile swim to land. From there, the team will don operational combat gear and run 100 miles throughout San Diego, finishing in around 24 hours.
