press room

Spartan has a long legacy of challenging the perceived limits of the individual’s ability, both mentally and physically. With a wide variety of events to choose from, participants are encouraged to take their fitness and mental toughness to the next level by adopting the unique Spartan mindset and lifestyle. This first ever Hurricane Heat in Fort Pierce coincided with the Museum’s 34th Annual Muster Weekend. In addition to the entry fee, participants were encouraged to fundraise for the Museum’s charitable outreach.

With press and public welcome, the official check presentation will take place at the Navy SEAL Museum on Thursday, March 5th at 11:00 AM.

About The Navy SEAL Museum
The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum is the only museum dedicated solely to preserving the history of the U.S. Navy SEALs and their predecessors. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, the Museum resides on the training grounds of the original Navy combat divers, the Frogmen. Built to honor the men who served with fortitude and ingenuity, the Navy UDT-SEAL Museum first opened its doors on Veterans Day in 1985. From humble beginnings, the facility has experienced tremendous growth, achieving national stature in 2007. The main objective of the Museum remains the promotion of public education by providing the opportunity to explore the history of the Navy SEALs through interactive exhibits, while honoring the fallen at the SEAL Memorial and caring for those warriors’ families through Trident House Charities.
