9/11 Hero Run
July 26, 2010

Travis Manion and I wrestled together in college.  He was a VERY good friend of mine...

On Saturday, September 11, 2010, CrossFit Ethos will close down to participate in the 3rd Annual 9/11 Hero’s Run.  We will race in remembrance of those who have faithfully served our country. This special event will again expand to include races in Doylestown, PA, Allentown, PA, Media, PA, Pottstown, PA, Annapolis, MD, Irvine, CA, Monterey, CA, Washington, DC and New York, NY!  (This is the first time that the event will be held on the West Coast.)

We hope you realize that your participation in this event represents something much bigger than a simple donation – it is an important and patriotic acknowledgment of all that our Heroes have done for us and will continue to do for us; that we truly appreciate that they are there for us, that they put everything on the line for us, and that they do not ask for anything in return. One of the largest Hero's Runs this year, will take place in Irvine, CA, and will support our nation's wounded veterans through the Travis Manion Foundation, and the Fallen Firefighters Relief Fund through the Orange County Firefighters Association. This is the foundation's third year hosting the 9/11 Hero's Run, and based on the amazing response we received from previous events, we are excited to expand into Southern California. Follow the event on FaceBook.

Following the run, and also at Hidden Valley Park, the Orange County Professional Firefighters Association will be hosting “The Brew Ha-Ha”, an Orange County beer festival, and will be joining us in donating a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Fallen Fire Fighters Relief Fund. Purchase tickets at: http://ocbrewfest.com/. All Hero's Run participants will receive a Brew Fest discount of $10 off the VIP admission price. Enter code “herorun” at checkout.

Our hope is that CrossFit Ethos was show the most representation of any other group at the event...

11:01 Rx ...

Kid Crossfit beat me by 3 seconds ... those last couple rounds of ring dips went slow.  Great turnout at the noon class ... barbells flying and bouncing everywhere, loved it.
