Hey friends,
We’re doing something a little different next month, and I think a lot of you are going to love it.
On Saturday, October 17th, we’re running a hybrid race event, in the style of a HYROX-format race, right here at the gym. If you’ve heard of HYROX and wondered what all the buzz is about, or if this is the first time you’re seeing the word — either way, this is a low-stakes, high-fun way to try it out with people you already train with.
It’s a fitness race that alternates running with functional work stations. Ours is a scaled-down version built for our gym and our community — same structure, same spirit, sized right for CFC.
Here’s the full breakdown:
(Details, loading, and order are subject to change)
-
Run 600m → SkiErg 750m
-
Run 600m → Sled Push 25m then Sled Pull 25m
-
Run 600m → Burpee Broad Jumps 50m
-
Run 600m → Row 750m
-
Run 600m → Farmers Carry 100m
-
Run 600m → Sandbag Lunges 50m
-
Run 600m → Wall Balls, 50 reps
That’s 4.2km of running woven through seven stations of hard work. Most people will finish somewhere in the 35–50 minute range — more experienced athletes closer to 35, and that’s totally fine either way. This isn’t necessarily about being fast. It’s about testing yourself against a format you probably haven’t tried before, alongside your gym friends.
Every loaded station has three weight tiers, so this works whether you’re chasing an Rx time or just want to move through it and have a good time. Nobody’s going to be the “weakest” person here — everyone’s on their own tier, doing their own thing, cheering for the same people.
-
7:00 AM & 8:30 AM — Solo. Take on the whole thing yourself.
-
10:00 AM — Teams of 2. Split it up, push each other, have a partner in the trenches with you.
All three sessions will run about 90 minutes to give everyone a chance to finish.
Registration is free and open now — click here to reserve your spot in the Chalk It Pro app.
Heads up: we can only run 3 people per station at a time, so that caps the solo session at 21 spots and the team session at 21 teams (42 people). Once our slots for each session are full, we’ll open a waitlist. But there are no guarantees at that point, so don’t sit on it if you’re even a little curious.
I’m excited to try this with you all! If this first run is successful, we’ll do more of them.
See you soon,
Your coach
