Give me liberty, or give me death!" is a famous quote from a speech by Patrick Henry, delivered on March 23, 1775 at the Second Virginia Convention, urging the state to raise a militia for the Revolutionary War against Britain. The speech argued that peaceful negotiation was futile and that the colonies must fight for their freedom. The line served as a rallying cry for America’s independence.Welcome to the Liberty or Death Ruck. You and your team will complete a 5K distance (or more if your club has a bunch of hard chargers).
