The Yard

The location of a CrossFit event is important. The Fittest Games is about celebration of sport. The rawness of starting with something that seemingly doesn’t belong, that isn’t good enough, that doesn’t fit in and turning it into something special. This is the journey so many CrossFit Athletes travel.

Can you remember when you first walked into a box and now reflect on the transformation you have gone through; mind, body and spirit. This is the theme site for the 2012 Fittest Games ” The Yard” a celebration of the raw journey that is CrossFit. For one day this location will transform from a hollowed out warehouse to an epicenter for electrifying activity. The hard work, passion and commitment of many will pour out into this unfinished space and leave a time capsule of emotions and memories that will live in the walls.

For some, this will be your first CrossFit Competition; the one where you overcome insurmountable obstacles or set a new personal record. Others will set a tone for the upcoming Open Sectionals and the South Central Region.There is no doubt that this place has no real meaning but what happens down on 6th and Calle on January 21st will mean everything to many. Stay Ready.
