Frostbite 2014

Frostbite 2014

Long Island City, NY - February 22, 2014

We invite CrossFitters of all skill levels and abilities to participate in our forth yearly Frostbite competition in Long Island City, NY on Saturday February 22nd, 2014. This year we are going teams of four: 2 guys and 2 girls. Find your teammates. Get ready! If you don't have a team, we can pair you up! Just register as an individual and we will do the rest!

Throughout the course of the day, competitors will be subjected to a series of challenging events, frigid temperatures and other unknown conditions. It will be a true testament of fitness and mental willpower. And just like the last year, we will defrost you at the box for the last event, the awards ceremony and the afterparty! There will be prizes for the top Rx and Scaled teams!

The athletes are guaranteed three events in the comfort of mother nature in the February NYC weather, and the two final events for the top teams inside the warm and cozy CrossFit LIC box.
