We’re pleased to announce the Charlottesville Super Fit Games 2010 on January 30th, 2010. Inspired by CrossFit Charlottesville and the CrossFit Games, we decided to hold our first local competition. We’ll be splitting proceeds between the Wounded Warrior Project and a local charity that will be announced sometime in December.
Games Idea
We believe being fit means being able to do well across a variety of different physical tests. As such, we’ve designed a competition that tests people for all-around skills. It will be super fun to watch and we’ll label our winners Charlottesville’s Super Fit!

Games Scoring
First and foremost the games are about raising money for our charities and having fun. Athletes that do the best overall will win the games. Scoring will be described in more details when we announce the events, but the best performing athlete in each event will score 100% on the event and the remaining athletes will be scored as a % of that movement.
We will have a prize basket for our winners from our sponsors.

Entrance fee is $40 and will go up to $55 the beginning of December. Entrance will include a fancy, tri-blend t-shirt. All athletes will be required to sign a waiver which will be provided at the event. Event participants will be capped at 100.
