Bruce Lee run participants will receive the official Bruce Lee running tech t-shirt, exclusive finishers medal, and a custom race bib.
“My dad didn’t see limitations in himself or in other people. He did what he did his way and left behind an extremely unique footprint,” said Shannon Lee, Chairperson of the Board of Directors for the Bruce Lee Foundation. The Bruce Lee Foundation was formed with the goal to share the art and philosophy of Bruce Lee with the world and generations to come. Today, this vision has evolved to actively inspire confidence, motivate action, bridge cultures, and champion humanity. “We believe that Bruce Lee’s life and the endeavors of the foundation have the power to ignite positivity in the world.” A portion of the proceeds will benefit the foundation and participants can make additional contributions at the time of registration.
Bruce Lee, world famous martial artist and actor, paved the way for modern martial arts by founding Jeet Kune Do, a hybrid martial arts philosophy drawing from different combat disciplines. Workouts for the Bruce Lee Challenge are created directly from workouts in Bruce Lee’s training journal; into which a sneak peek is generously provided by the Bruce Lee Foundation.
“As our team dove into the life and legacy of Bruce Lee, we became inspired.” said Jamie Monroe, whose company Easy Day Sports partnered with the foundation on the Bruce Lee Challenge initiative. “We wanted to create a 12-week fitness plan that would not only get you in great shape, but also expose today’s generation to a man that is still making a major impact on the world today”. In addition to producing lifestyle running and cycling events, Easy Day Sports partners with major brands to create fitness experiences that resonate with the active consumer.
Registration for the Bruce Lee Challenge is open and can be started anytime before the end of 2023. Interested participants can learn more and register at bruceleechallenge.com.
