We're pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Charlottesville Super Fit Games 2012.  Inspired by CrossFit Charlottesville and the CrossFit Games, we decided to hold our third annual local competition. We'll choose a local community organization to benefit and all of our proceeds will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Charlottesville.  We will officially be the largest event in the Mid-Atlantic with 200+ competitors! We sold out way in advance last year, so don't delay your ticket purchase.

Games Idea

We believe being fit means being able to do well across a variety of different physical tests.  As such, we've designed a competition that tests people for all-around skills.  It will be super fun to watch and we'll label our winners Charlottesville's Fittest athletes.

Games Date

The event will take place on January 21st and 22nd, 2012.  We will start things off at around 8:00AM on Saturday and target our final workouts for the afternoon on Sunday. Detailed schedules will be announced soon.

Games Format

The games will incorporate a variety of different skill sets and be scaled to any level athlete.  We will incorporate standard CrossFit movements in workouts that will be selected to test athletes in strength, endurance and skilled movements. We will announce the 3 to 5 individual events 48 hours prior to the competition.  We will hold a final event for the top male and female finishers in the regular events. 

Sample Workout Formats

• Event 1:  3 Rounds of Row 500 Meters, 21 Squat Cleans, 21 Burpees
• Event 2: 1 Rep Max Deadlift
• Event 3:  Run 800 Meters, 50 Double Unders, 50 Overhead Squats, Run 800 Meters

Divisions

We will host three division in this competition:

• RX: Rx means you can do almost every named workout RX.  Cash prizes will only be given to the RX division.  We encourage most athletes to enter this division.
• Open: Open means you scale your workouts about half the time.  Events will be scaled from the RX division and approachable like the CrossFit Games open workouts.
• Masters: If you are 45+, this is your division.  We will scale like in the Open division.

Games Scoring

First and foremost the games are about raising money for our charities and having fun.  Athletes that do the best overall will win the games.  Scoring will be described in more details when we announce the events.

Prizes

We will have a prize basket for our winners from our sponsors. We will also have over a $1,000 in our cash purse for RX division winners.
