To the Lost… Hero Challenge, created by John Dill of CrossFit Sua Sponte, is to provide our CrossFit community a unique outlet to celebrate the ultimate sacrifice given by our brothers and sisters overseas.To the Lost… is open to not only those involved in the CrossFit community, but anyone open to experiencing what our community is all about and willing to “do work” for those that have given all.
The first 40 people to register for this event will be guaranteed a special “To The Lost…” Hero Challenge event t-shirt, and the remaining shirts will be given out as supplies last! Proceeds from the event will be donated to Step Up For Soldiers – An all volunteer group providing renovations, recreation, and recognition for recently disabled Veterans – www.stepupforsoldiers.org. Step Up For Soldiers is 100% non profit, and no one takes a salary.
The first annual challenge hosted at CrossFit Ocean Isle Beach will be facilitated in 20 minute heats. What you need to bring is a little water, a lot of sweat, and a ton of heart!
The first 40 registrants will be contacted regarding your t-shirt or tank top size selection.
