In Utah there are a very few people who were fortunate enough to compete in the 1st Crossfit Games back when all you had to do was show up and you were in.  The level of competition in Crossfit keeps getting higher and higher but I still wonder…How would I have done back in the very first Games?  Could I beat OPT or Jolie Gentry and how would I do against the 2007 Chris Spealler?

Here’s your chance to find out how you stack up against the original Crossfit Firebreathers.  This event consists of 3 WODs and there just may be a “mystery” WOD at the end for the top 10 athletes and teams.  The events will be exactly what they were back in Aromas and the trail run will mimic it as closely as possible with course input coming from athletes who ran the original course.

Wasatch Crossfit, Layton UT. Trail run will be held off-site at East Mountain Wilderness Park in Fruit heights which is also the starting point for the Wasatch 100.   A map to the run can be found on the schedule and heat reservation page.
Sept 23 & 24th.  If you can’t make the run on Friday evening then you’ll have the option of running it at 7:30am on Saturday morning.  We would like to provide a 2 day event but understand that not everybody can make it Friday.
There will be 3 events plus a final one for the contenders.  The events are a 3k run, a Crossfit Total, and a chipper consisting of a 1K row followed by 5 rounds of 7 push jerks & 25 pullups.  Scaling will be permitted on both the load and the pullups.  The final WOD will be announced on Saturday but will from recent Crossfit Games.
You can compete as an individual, a Master, or as a same-gender team
$75/pp for individuals or $55/pp for teams.
The sames as in the 2007 CrossFit Games.

We expect this event to sell out and will not open any additional slots once it does.  Please reserved your slot asap.
