Barbells for Boobs 2013 – Downtown Alexandria

October 18. Downtown Alexandria. 5:30pm – 7pm. Stay after for the band and party.

We are continuing what has become a CrossFit Alexandria tradition with Barbells for Boobs!! The event continues to get bigger and better each year and 2013 will be no exception. Many local sponsors including all three local CrossFit boxes — CrossFit Alexandria, CrossFit 28 and CrossFit South Bank — are working together to make this a huge success!! We invite all the gyms around Louisiana to make the trip to Alexandria to compete.

This year Barbells for Boobs will be part of EAT.WALK.RUN, a 3 day event centered around breast cancer awareness. The 3-day event will be filled with music, the Komen Run, the Art Walk, a cook off and Barbells for Boobs!! We are excited to partner with Susan Komen Race for the Cure organizers, the Central Louisiana Community Foundation, United Way and City of Alexandria to host the 3rd Annual Barbells for Boobs!

Barbells for Boobs will be held downtown on Friday evening right in the middle of all the pink-out festivities! There will be music, food, drinks and plenty of participants and spectators.

So what is Barbells for Boobs? The mission is simple — “Save a Pair. Save a Life”. The event in Alexandria and others like it around the US will help provide funding to breast centers globally through Mammograms In Action ® Grant Program. The program provides funding for thousands who are not able to afford screenings and diagnostic procedures for breast cancer.

The Barbells for Boobs event will be an individual competition where the participants will compete in a version of the workout Grace. This year the workout will be as follows:

“City Block Grace”
Complete 3 rounds for time:
10 x clean and jerks
Run 1 city block
(Rx weight is 135 for guys, 95 for females. Scaled weight is 95 for guys and 65 for females)

You will need to do two things to sign up:

Step 1. Click here to create a fundraising page. Be sure and choose “CrossFit Alexandria and CrossFit 28” as your team. You do not have to compete in the event to help raise money for the cause. If you would like to only fundraise, complete this step only and stop here.
Step 2. Click here to sign up to compete in the event. YOU MUST REGISTER HERE TO BE SIGNED UP TO COMPETE. Only completing Step 1 does not reserve you a spot in the competition.  Spots are limited to 90 participants so get signed up now.

A recommended fund raising goal for those competing is $100.

Volunteers and judges would be very much appreciated. Please email william@alexandriacrossfit.com if you would like to help.
