Introducing the first CrossFit Event of its kind:
Mercer Island CrossFit 5k Challenge sponsored by Advantage PT, at Mercer Island CrossFit
This is a 5k with a CrossFit twist! Runners need to be
strong, lifters need to be fast to complete this 5k run. The run will consist of six, 1/2 mile loops and you will have to complete CrossFit movements between each of the 6 laps. That means 5 stations to, squat, thrust and press your way
to the front of the pack!
The WOD (workout of the day) will be announced the week before the 5k and all participants should be able to squat, press and lift a barbell.
