Operation Eagles Row: MONGO Memorial Workout

Operation Eagles Row: MONGO Memorial Workout
March 7 | Jackson Hole Indoor | Jackson, WY

On March 7, the Jackson Hole community is invited to come together for Operation Eagles Row, a memorial workout and endurance fundraising event honoring Major Moises “Mo” Navas and Gunnery Sergeant Diego Pongo, Marine Raiders killed in action on March 8, 2020.

After losing Mo and Diego in Iraq, their teammates created the workout MONGO as a way to honor their sacrifice — to suffer together, remember together, and carry their legacy forward. Every rep is intentional. Every round is a tribute. This event is open to all fitness levels, with divisions for RX, Scaled Men & Women, and Kids.

At the heart of the event, Chad Passantino will row on a Concept 2 rower non-stop for 24 hours, beginning around 7:00 AM, marking his third consecutive year honoring the fallen.

Athlete check-in begins at 9:00 AM, the main event will end around 6:00 PM but spectators are welcome throughout the day.

This event is held in support of the Talons Reach Foundation and the MANs Legacy Foundation, raising awareness and funds to support Special Operations warriors, Raider families, and the next generation.

We are honored to have Enoc Navas, Mo’s younger brother, present to represent MANs Legacy Foundation — a nonprofit he founded in his brother’s honor to support Raider children and families who carry the weight of service long after the mission ends.

On this anniversary, we choose to stand together — not separately — to honor the warriors, the families, and the next generation.

Proceeds from this event will be shared between both organizations, supporting:

•    Healing, regeneration, and resilience for Special Operations Forces
•    Direct support for Raider children and families

This is not about competition. This is about showing up.
