Father’s Day Beatdown @ The Rising
Heartfelt THANK YOU to ALL (42 total) that came to The Rising; participated, planned, enjoyed our F3 Princeton Family Day/Father’s Day Workout 2025. It would have not been as successful as it was without your presence, energy and enthusiasm. It was great seeing the kids, the wives and mom doing the same workout routine F3 Pax do.
Thank you to ALL that helped prepare this event; Qs – @Harjot Pannu (Cruiser), @Matt Hopkins (Brisket), @Harkawal G.O.A.T, @Brian Huang (Zelda), ALL the Ms (wives), 2.0s (kids), high impact men (HIM). For ALL that brought potluck stuffs – @Sunny The Machine Sehgal, @Edgar Moran (Grasshopper) @Alan Hockenjos (Walden) @Marc Rubenstein (ScarU) @Wayne Frost (Takedown) @Herve Francois (Stingray) @Fred Kelly (Grassy Knoll) @MIGUEL SALINAS (Cool Breeze) @(SureShot) @Harjot Pannu (Cruiser). @Aryaman Kulkarni (MasterChef) @Brian Huang (Zelda)! GRATEFUL!
I know lots us high impact man gets asked by our M &/or 2.0(s) questions like, why do you stink all the time? When are you going to do your sweaty laundry? Who is that guy Dos XX (he’s just the most interesting man!)? Why do you get up so early to run around? Why is Risky Business running @ 509am around the development screaming SideOut Jabjab scorpion king German DJ Shakira Tombstone…? Today, I hope, a lot of these type of questions got answered.
Today is more than a workout…it is about something bigger than ourselves. It wasn’t about our M & kids celebrating us as Husbands/Fathers, but about us as Father’s becoming better Husbands/Dads for our M & 2.0s and allowing them to see that first hand. It’s about letting them see the other high impact men we spend time with and letting them know that these men will look out for them just like how we look out for each other as friends/brothers. For them to see that we are Fulfilling the F3 creed “Leave no man behind but don’t leave him where you find him.” And the portion of the F3 mission “invigoration of male community leadership.”
I want to share what I believe in;
SideOut
- There is a need for Husbands/Fathers to take initiative and invite your M & 2.0(s) on this F3 journey or other journeys. Spending quality time together.
- There is a need for INtentional INclusive INspirational Husbands/Fathers. Which one are you? Or Are you ALL IN?

Blue Ridge Relay – 9/5 & 9/6
All F3 Princeton Runners –
Cruiser
Please let me or @Patrick Chow (Black Hole) know if you’re interested in doing the BRR 2025 in September.
If we have enough interest from the running PAX, then we have to start planning for it . Booking the accommodations closer to the start of the race makes it easier for everyone. And that we need to do it now.
BRR stands for Blue ridge relay. It starts in Virginia and ends in Ashville NC. We have 4-5 PAX who have done it in the past. We need at least 9 to 12 runners to complete 210 miles.
I can schedule a Google Meet meeting to answer your questions.
Let us know ASAP.
Thanks
Ragnar Trail Run NJ – 10/3 & 10/4
Men, looking for an adventure in October? Training for the Princeton half and feel like you don’t want to spend all that training on just one event? Great! We want you to sign up for Ragnar New Jersey.
It’s a badass 24 hour relay starting Friday morning and running straight through the night until Saturday morning. Each man does 3 loops totaling 15.7mi. F3 Princeton has fielded teams a few years running now, and it’s incredible! This year it’s Oct 3 – Oct 4.
Don’t think about it, just do it! Let me know and I’ll put you on our list!
