Recruit Family Members Take the Challenge

Recruit Family Members Take the Challenge

With Semper Gumby while their recruit is in boot camp for 13 weeks!

We had a record number of recruit family members participating and submitting photos for the Semper Gumby Virtual Run/Walk. OOH RAH to these proud parents, grandparents, stepparents, and aunts of a recruit for embracing wellness during boot camp! If your recruit can get fit, SO CAN YOU! Read what these recruit family members said:

I was running and pushing myself out of my comfort zone for my recruit! He chose to serve our country and is being pushed out of his comfort zone regularly, so we did the same to honor him!Nicolas Dirig, recruit family member
When I first decided to sign up for the Semper Gumby Virtual Run, my thought was to complete a 5k. But the more I thought about it, I wanted to push myself to do more than I was comfortable with - because that's exactly what my recruit is doing.Sarah Yturbide, recruit Mom
