Event Description
Want to combine the trails and CrossFit? Join CrossFit Gettysburg at Heroes Ridge to "Hustle for Heroes" and honor veterans. This race will be held rain or shine on the beginner to moderate trails found on the private property of Operation Second Chance at Heroes Ridge. There will be "RX", "intermediate", and "beginner" options. Over the course of the trails there is an elevation gain/loss of approximately 600m. Since this workout/race is being held to honor veterans, please choose a challenging option! There will be medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers for the 10k and 5k.
All proceeds and donations collected will be donated to Operation Second Chance which is a nonprofit organization that provides support and healing for our veterans. Please visit the link to learn more information about the work and love put into this foundation that has been giving back for 20 years! There will be a luncheon held at Chow Hall starting at approximately 1230. CrossFit Gettysburg will be providing the protein. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.
