Smell that dairy-air? Yep, CrossFit Farmland’s 2nd annual “Fittest Farmhand Challenge” is back August 25th! Like last year, this will be a one day throw down. We will have 3 events in the Rx and Scaled divisions (2 for Beginners) with a tie breaker if necessary. Last year we didn’t incorporate as much farm-fun as we’d have liked, so this year we made sure it was a first priority. So bring your work gloves, overalls, and handkerchiefs. Seriously.

Here at CrossFit Farmland, we love to hard work and lifting heavy sh…tuff. This event will be a great opportunity to showcase your abilities. Come ready to bust your butt and perhaps be declared the “Fittest Farmhand”!
