Our friends at CrossFit Hook'd are gearing up for their 2nd annual Hookd2Hops on September 24! CrossFit Hook'd has again partnered with Two Roads Brewery—an awesome local brewery in Stratford, CT—for this 4 person, co-ed team competition (2 guys, 2 girls). There are scaled and RX divisions, 3 guaranteed workouts with a 4th for top finishers, and free t-shirts and beer coupon for all registered athletes! 

We already have one team heading down to represent YCF so it would be great to have another team compete as well. This one will definitely be a fun comp! (Did we mention there will be beer?!)

The competition is also raising money for the Catch a Lift Fund, a great cause that enables post 9/11 combat wounded Veterans to regain and maintain their physical and mental health by providing granted gym memberships, fitness programs or in-home gym equipment, anywhere in the U.S. Click here for more information on the fund.
