Patch - Liberty or Death Ruck

"Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a famous quote from a speech by Patrick Henry, delivered on March 23, 1775 at the Second Virginia Convention, urging the state to raise a militia for the Revolutionary War against Britain. The speech argued that peaceful negotiation was futile and that the colonies must fight for their freedom. The line served as a rallying cry for America’s independence.

Welcome to the Liberty or Death Ruck. You and your team will complete a 5K distance (or more if your club has a bunch of hard chargers). Each time you complete a mile, you will give your participants a choice: LIBERTY OR DEATH:

LIBERTY = A patriotic activity

Examples:

• Sing a patriotic song (such as “Yankee Doodle,” “You're a Grand Old Flag,” “America the Beautiful,” or “My Country 'Tis of Thee”)
• Recite the preamble to the Constitution
• Recite a line from Patrick Henry
• Give participants 60 seconds to list the Bill of Rights

DEATH = Short, simple PT (1 set of 10 reps, hard chargers can do 3 sets of 10 reps)
