The Carolina Fitness
Challenge
CHALLENGE 2010
The 2nd Annual Carolina Fitness Challenge returns to the
Bull City this December! Last year’s event was a big
success with over 115 competitors, 250 attendees, and a
donation made to the John Velandra Memorial Fund. This
year will feature an even bigger crop of competitors,
spectators, events, sponsors, and fun!
Concept
The Carolina Fitness Challenge is modeled on the
CrossFit Games and seeks to determine the Fittest Man
and Fittest Woman in North Carolina, as well as serve as
a tune up for athletes hoping to compete in the 2011
CrossFit Games.
