Location, date & time for the 5th Annual Fight Gone Bad Fundraiser are set! Fight Gone Bad is an athletic event dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the Prostate Cancer Foundation & The Wounded Warrior Project. This year Crossfit Central, Crossfit Westlake, Fit and Fearless Crossfit, Crossfit Austin, Crossfit Texas & Crossfit Round Rock are all teaming up to take on Fight Gone Bad as an Austin wide Community event!
Fight Gone Bad began as a fundraising event in 2006. From those humble beginnings and with the support of the CrossFit community, we’ve proven what a small, totally committed group of people can accomplish. The first four editions of Fight Gone Bad have raised a combined total of more than $2 million to provide funding for programs of the Wounded Warrior Project and Athletes for a Cure.
Fight Gone Bad V opens its arms and benefits four distinct charities this year:
LiveStrong, Wounded Warrior Project, the CrossFit Foundation and Operation Phoenix.
Fight Gone Bad V takes place on Saturday, September 25, 2010. The event will take place between 8am – the afternoon.
The event format is the Fight Gone Bad CrossFit format:
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The event is in the 3 round format. The stations are:
* Wall-ball: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
* Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75 pounds (Reps)
* Box Jump: 20″ box (Reps)

* Row: calories (Calories)
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
