F3: Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Fall is upon us and the cold months of Winter will be setting in before you know it. For many, life is comfortable, warm, and stable, the choices we have made along the road have led us to right here where we are being called upon to lead in a world that desperately needs leaders to step up and take action in the community. Officially Starting November 12th and ending December 30th, the men of F3 RVA are being…
I invite the PAX to come out to the 12th Annual Shawn G. Hogan Memorial Beer Mile. For those that have not heard, Shawn was a very dear friend of mine and former college roommate of Handshake’s. Shawn lived a life of adventure and sadly he was killed in an Army training incident 12 years ago. Shawn and I ran cross country in college and enjoyed beer. We always joked about running a beer mile one day, but sadly Shawn and I never got the opportunity to run one together. So every year around the time of his passing friends…

May 8 is the anniversary of VE Day in 1945. For YHC, I think about what those men and women did as they worked across Europe and ended a World War in less then a year. From my perspective we can workout for a full day to honor what they did. Its also the 3rd anniversary of the start of Currahee. AND not everyone can do a BRR extended weekend so wanted to do a local CSAUP. Looking at you Hardywood. This is the overall concept and timeline for May 6:6am ruck.- Headlamp highly recommended- You vs you on weight.…
All of the morning announcements, slack comments, and mumble chatter about the latest RVA homegrown CSAUP will finally come to an end after Friday. The only thing you’ll hear about the Frozen Triangle Part Deux after that is mumble chatter about how much fun you missed out on if you weren’t there. We’ve gotten some hard commits, soft commits, offers to help and we appreciate all of the offers and updates on participation. A few final notes for everyone: We start at 6:00 am at Dogpile – that’s the only thing about the day that will be typical Bring a…
If you have been posting or reading Slack you have been hearing about an upcoming CSAUP – The Frozen Triangle. It is 2 weeks away, so below are some more details, and we are looking for HCs (and soft commits – if you must) to help us plan provisions. Please add to the HC count on Slack if you are in. Give a thumbs up or something else if you are a soft commit. Many folks have reached out to Rosie and me to let us know they want to help. Thank you. We will be touching base with you…
Lots of guys have provided their 2023 Challenges, both individual and group. Thank you. I have two private challenges so far that people have shared with me. Good stuff. I’ll add one for the group. The Purpose of F3 is to “… plant, grow, and serve …for the invigoration of male community leadership.” We do this through all 5 principles. Dredd and OBT selected principles that are very simple and entirely intentional. Each man should strive to live all 5 F3 principles every week. This includes one easily overlooked: live the Rotating Q. Some guys Q all the time. Some…
Nothing on the calendar in January? Looking for an excuse to hit some new AOs? Never participated in a homegrown F3RVA CSAUP? Want a morning of 1st and 2nd F wrapped into one?

Tuesday 11/22 at Spider Run we will be running a 10k. The link to the route is below and I’ll also describe it for individuals that have not run this route previously. The trails are slightly modified from the official route but everything else is the same. Headlamps strongly recommended. It’s 6.2 miles with plenty of elevation. Ideally, we will all be finishing at the same time, right around 615. If you think you need an hour and 15 to finish a 10k, play your departure for around 5am. I’ll be there just before 5am to assist with any questions.…
