ANNOUNCED TODAY: THIS COULD BECOME SOMETHING BIG… Okanagan Valley Throwdown will take place at the SOEC on February 8th, 2014. Western Canada’s Premier CrossFit Competition Congratulations to Hoodoo Adventures and partners at CrossFit South Okanagan and our very own SOEC for initiating what sounds like a fantastic event. CrossFit is one of the fastest growing sports in the world with nearly 140,000 people competing in the International CrossFit Open this past year. The sport combines Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics and high intensity interval training along with many other sport specific movements and challenges; in CrossFit an athlete must prepare for the unknown. It is the “Ultimate Fitness Competition” – not just cardio, but a test of skill, strength, speed, stamina, cardiovascular endurance, power, agility, accuracy, balance, flexibility and coordination rolled into one. A competitor must overcome various physical challenges in order to complete an event and “ANY” activity is game, the individual or team with the best overall fitness will win! The Okanagan Valley Throwdown will be an annual event, held in February with a goal of hosting the CrossFit Regional’s within the next 4 years. The Regional’s bring more than 10,000 people over a 3 day event, so the potential for the area is huge. Sponsors, organizers at Hoodoo Adventures and partners at CrossFit South Okanagan are looking forward to growing the event for Penticton.
