4 miles. Every 4 hours. For 48 hours.

Hi, my name is Robert Camp. Originally from Alabama, I spent my entire adult life in the US Army until retiring and moving to Grand Junction in the spring of 2019 after over 21 years of service. In January of 2020, I married my amazing wife and between the two of us we have four wonderful children. My wife and I are the owners of CrossFit Vex, right here in Grand Junction.

I come from a large family. My father, also a US Army retiree, is originally from the greater Chicago area. My mother, a retired art instructor, is from Croatia and immigrated to the United States after being liberated from Hitler’s work camps.

Since moving here to Grand Junction, I have been looking for a way to give back to my community. Last year I saw a post by David Goggins, an American super athlete and fellow military retiree, about his 4x4x48 challenge, a light bulb came on in my head. With the generous support of family and friends both near and far, I was able to raise almost $4,000 that was split between three different charities that directly support those in need in the Grand Valley. I have accepted the challenge again this year and will be using the event to raise money for three local charities: The United Way of Mesa County, _________________ and Grand Valley Catholic Outreach. All three of these charities help those that have fallen on hard times right here in Grand Junction and close surrounding areas.

What is the 4x4x48 Challenge? Starting March 4th-6th, the challenge is to run 4 miles, every 4 hours, for 48 hours. I have decided to use this challenge to support three great charities that directly impact lives here in the Grand Valley. Any donation, no matter how small or how large, is greatly appreciated.

100% of all donations will be given to charity. Donations will be accepted now through March 10, 2021. Thank you for your support.
