W
ith our beautiful Emerald
Coast community being the
nation’s 3rd largest largest
Veteran population, as well
as home to thousands of First Responders;
Sean Lynch, founder of the Emerald Coast
Honor games, felt it necessary to create
an event giving back to all the brave men
and women defending the front lines. The
existence of the Emerald Coast Honor
Games is simple…to “Raise funds to support
DEFENDERS of the Front Line.” November
10, was the 2nd Annual Emerald Coast
Honor Games, which consisted of a delicious
breakfast buffet, the 2nd RUCK 22, a crossfi t
style competition and so much more.
Although the morning started out quite cold
and breezy, the day continued on and ended
up being perfect for those competing. The
competition began later in the morning but
consisted of 4 different workouts, all testing
the competitors strength, endurance, and
team-work as all teams consisted of 3 people.
Most events took place outside of LuLu’s and
Legendary Marine parking lots.
This year, due to all that occurred from
Hurricane Michael, Sean and the other board
members decided that all profi ts from the
event will benefi t our neighbors in need.
