"METCON 5K"

$150 Cash Prize for Top Male and Top Female!!!

METCON: Short for “metabolic conditioning,” metcon workouts are performed at high intensity and are designed to train stamina, endurance, and conditioning. 

What is The METCON 5K?Take a typical 5K race, add high intensity challenge stations every half mile professionally designed by the expert coaches from Grassfed CrossFit, finish up with a bunch of like minded athletes just like you looking to push their limits and you get...The METCON 5K.

Warning: The METCON 5K was designed to push you to your personal limit, then lay on the floor afterwards with a smile on your face knowing you left it all out on the course!

Questions:
Do I have to do CrossFit to be able to participate?

Absolutely not! The METCON 5K was designed for all ages, skills and abilities. It's the ultimate cross training event on Long Island!

Do I have to complete each of the challenge stations?
Yes, though there will be modified versions so all can participate. 

What kind of challenge stations can I expect?

Slamball

Air Squats

Overhead Walking Lunges

Push-ups

Burpee Broad Jumps

Kettle Bell Swings

*Instructional videos to the right!

*Not the order of the stations for the race, that's a surprise!

What if I've never held a kettle bell or done a burpee before?

No problem! Our expert coaches from Grassfed CrossFit will be hosting an instructional warm-up at 8:00am on the day-of for all competitors on-site complete on how to perform each of the challenge exercises.
