What is it?
Stuck in a post pandemic rut? Looking for a good challenge?? Wanna kick the holiday season off on a good foot??? Interested in a shot at some cool prizes????
Then 10k By Turkey Day powered by Puma is for you!!
The ultimate goal of the 10k By Turkey Day virtual fitness challenge is complete a 10,000m Row the week of Thanksgiving. Yep! 10,000m in one sitting! If you’re thinking, “I’ve never rowed more than 2,000m!” do not panic. The challenge progressively builds toward the 10k goal. I hosted this challenge in 2018 and 99% of the participants had NEVER rowed farther than 2,000m. So I know you can do it!
PLUS it's totally FREE!
When?
Each week you will complete a set distance.
Week 1: 2,000m Row – October 26th-November 1st
Week 2: 3,000m Row – November 2nd-November 8th
Week 3: 5,000m Row – November 9th-November 15th
Week 4: 7,000m Row – November 16th-November 22nd
Week 5: 10,000m Row – November 23rd-November 29th
Why?
Because you are ALIVE and you CAN so why not!? It's no secret, 2020 has been a hot mess. The pandemic forced global gym closures, and for my fellow CrossFitters, it shut down the Open. 10k By Turkey Day is a great way to re-establish consistency and get your fitness routine back on track! Kick off the holiday season by challenging yourself, smashing some goals, and destroying some extra cardio in the process!
