Operation STIRLING

Operation STIRLING is presented as a military inspired fitness event held in Pisgah National Forest, NC. It is part of the Green Beret Fitness series, which frames its events around military training and Special Forces selection methods.

Organizers describe STIRLING as a Special Forces Selection style event intended to push physical and mental toughness. Promotional text for different editions emphasizes the event's selection-style format and, in one instance, references a "fifth" day, indicating a multi‑day progression rather than a single short test.

The event is positioned within the Green Beret Fitness philosophy of testing endurance, resilience, and mental focus in an outdoor setting. Details published by the organizer highlight the event's connection to Special Forces selection scenarios and its location in Pisgah National Forest, NC. No start or finish times are provided in the available material. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
