The Standard

Ten special forces combat veterans and forty civilians converge on Jacksonville Beach, for what is considered to be the toughest endurance event in the world. At 48+ hours and 80+ miles, the pass rate for participants is less than 2%. Inspired by Special Forces training, the event is not only a way to test one's mettle, but it's also an attempt to bridge the military-civilian divide. It is a roller coaster of emotions for both the candidates and the cadre.
