Organiser's Description
Let's MIX IT UP a little! We've infused a classic 5k with some fitnessing!

Each athlete will complete a 5k split into running sections divided by various fitness tests! All fitness movements are meant to be VERY accessible to all fitness levels.
The "Competitive" division will have set weights, box heights, etc for men and women.
