The SouthWest Throwdown has arrived! CrossFit 719 is the premier CrossFit gym in Southern Colorado and host of the 2016 SW Throwdown. This is the 4th year for CrossFit 719 running successful fitness competitions and this year is looking to be the best yet! We have national and local sponsors on board to make sure all athletes and spectators leave with something!! This year we have chosen a very deserving charity to support, the Joel Home. This amazing residential transitioning living environment helps young adults, 18-23, that are aging out of the foster care system to adjust to the challenges of adulthood by providing a support system.

Now to the nitty gritty details…

64 Individual spots and 16 Team spots available for anyone who wants to test their fitness against some of their fellow exercisers in an old school throwdown full of fun with all judges having a CF LVL1 certification or better. This competition will be programmed by Pursuit Athletics so be ready!! A good standard outside of the possible weights and movements released is if you completed all WODs from the 2016 CrossFit Open you will be able to compete in this event without modification. This event will have a total of 5 events over 2 days for all individuals and teams registered.

We will opening registration on March 25th at 8am promptly so be ready to grab a spot! A couple of notes before you click to register –

• Cancellation Policy – If you cannot make the competition you are able to transfer or sell your spot ONLY.  Email info@swthrowdown.com with the new athlete’s name and email. Also, for anyone wishing to transfer or sell spots please use the Colorado CrossFit Affiliate Events Page on Facebook as that will be the best place to find replacements.
• When registering please make sure to use chrome as your web browser as other browsers may cause errors. Also, please register from a computer as mobile is not a guarantee just yet.

As always, tell all your friends and family to come out and support as we will have plenty of vendors, spectator challenges, community events and tent city. Looking forward to having some fun in the sun and a good old school throwdown!
