WHAT & WHY:
It’s hard to believe, but August 1st marks Iron Cross Athletics’s one-year anniversary! In recognition, we’re hosting an anniversary WOD and celebration on Saturday August 4th for ICA members, guests, and our friends from local CrossFit affiliates. The WOD will be a fundraiser for the 31Heroes Project.
The 31Heroes Project came about in response to the helicopter crash that took place on August 6, 2011, killing 30 military service members and one military working dog. The 31Heroes Project honors these fallen heroes and raises funds for programs that provide support to families of all fallen military heroes—past, present, and future. ICA participated in this WOD last year, and we hope to make it an annual fundraiser at our gym.
SCHEDULE:
More details to be announced as the date draws nearer. Plan on opening remarks around 9am followed by WOD heats throughout the morning. Because the WOD is long (31 minutes), we may have people start as they arrive. Around noon we’ll roll into an anniversary “stink and drink” celebration – complete with food and beer for all to enjoy.
(More recent blog post and updated information available HERE.)
HOW TO REGISTER:
We are encouraging participants to register online at the 31Heroes website, but we are not requiring it! You are welcome to show up at ICA the day of the event and make a donation of any amount. To officially register for the 31Heroes fundraiser, visit our event page. The minimum donation is $31, and for an additional $6 they’ll mail you a t-shirt.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE:
Athletes of all ages and fitness levels are welcome to participate. We will have plenty of scaling options for beginners through advanced. You can show up with a partner or have one assigned to you when you arrive. If you choose to not register online, please send us an email to let us know you plan to attend.
