Man, the weather was perfect! By the 8am start time of the 10k race the clouds were thinning and it was a festival atmosphere. Arena Fitness kicked off the event with a strong showing in the 10k! The sky was blue for the 9:30am 5k start, and the larger group of Arena Fitness contenders crushed the course! There were a whole bunch of impressive finishes, first-timers and experienced veterans, but the best part was seeing the camaraderie, teamwork, support and laughter. Everyone seemed to have a GREAT TIME!

The hills were challenging, the sandbag carry was TOUGH, there were some new obstacles, all in all it was a fun race!

Thank you so much to everyone who participated and attended, and for showing so much support for us by visiting and hanging out with us at the Arena Fitness booth. We’re so proud of you and love being able to train and race with you!
