The 2017 Subway Series Kicks Off at CFSBK
Another year has gone by, and it’s time once again for an NYC affiliate throw down: the seventh annual Subway Series! All NYC affiliates are invited to participate—the affiliate with the best overall score at the end of four events wins the Subway Series Trophy and bragging rights for a whole year! This year, the first event happens right here at CFSBK on Saturday, September 16th! Here’s the rest of the schedule:
Saturday, September 30th: CrossFit Queens
Saturday, October 14th: CrossFit Gantry
Saturday, October 28th: CrossFit Virtuosity
This year’s Subway Series is using a team format (M/M and F/F) and there are both Scaled and Rx’d divisions, so we hope as many CFSBKers as possible will sign up. As you can tell from last year’s photos, it’s a fun day. You can register here, but hurry: early bird pricing only lasts through September 5th!
