Not another charity fun run!!!


Okay, we've finally settled on a date for the Fight Gone Bad Challenge. On Saturday November 22nd between 9am-12pm we'll be running participants through this tough workout. CrossFit NZ members should have recieved their entry forms and sponsorship sheets.

For non-members please get in touch with us at info@crossfitnz.co.nz and we'll flick the details your way ASAP. Entry is $10 and includes a free event t-shirt if you register quick. We encourage you to raise a bit of cash from friends and family - all proceeds are going towards cancer research - which is apt, given that it's Movember (Prostate Cancer Month), so scraggly facial hair is also welcome...........

Be sure to bring those friends and family along to cheer you along on the day. We'll have a few snacks and refreshments on hand. There will be prizes for best performers, most money raised, scariest workout face, dirtiest mo, etc etc...........

Also, if you own a business and are interested in helping out with sponsorship through cash or prizes, we'd love to hear from you.
