Maupin Memorial Hero Workout
Saturday, April 4, 2026
10 am – 12 noon
Bare Hands Crossfit
618 N Main St., Columbia, IL
The Maupin HERO Workout (WOD) is in remembrance of SSG Matt Maupin (US Army), the first ever POW of the Iraq War. On April 9, 2004, Matt’s fuel truck convoy was attacked, resulting in the largest attack on a supply convoy in the history of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Matt was held as a POW for an undetermined amount of time. Ultimately his remains were found in 2008, three years after his unit returned home. Matt was from the Cincinnati suburb of Batavia, OH.
Dustin Row, the founder of Songs4Soldiers, served with Matt and survived the attack. Maupin was created by Dustin Row and Scott Harres, former owner of Bare Hands CrossFit. The workout was designed around Matt’s fitness interests and symbolic to the date that he was captured.
Per Matt’s mom’s request, 100% of the proceeds of the event will go to Songs4Soldiers, aiding them in their mission of helping fellow combat veterans.
Register early for a discount. In-person ticket sales and registration begins at 9 am on April 4. Please come early to stretch. The workout begins promptly at 10 am.
Open to the public and ALL fitness levels. Scaled versions of the workout available. There will be plenty of outdoor and indoor space available, so bring your friends! Post workout beer!
Registration link coming soon.
