Background

A desire to work together, support the community, and provide a unique challenge has brought us to Operation ENDURE. Raising awareness and money for the Stay In Step charity is our primary objective followed by the secondary objective of producing a safe, fun, and challenging event for the public.

Situation

Green Beret Fitness (GBF) returns to St Petersburg for a new 24 hour event hosted by CrossFit Blackbeard. Two difficulty levels to select from:

- Westpoint. 24 workouts in 24 hours. On the hour. Every hour.

- Sandhurst. 12 workouts in 24 hours. On the hour. Every two hours.

• Workouts will be conducted as a PAIR
• Workouts will be issued on the day. Prepare for the unknown.
• All workouts will be scalable - you do not need to be a Games Athlete to compete in this event.

50% of profits will be donated to Stay In Step to support the important and invaluable work they do.

Mission

Every hour or two hours, depending on your level, your pair will complete a workout issued by the GBF Directing Staff (DS). Between workouts you will have time to eat, rest, hydrate, or whatever you desire.

Execution

The first workout will begin at 1000 hrs on Saturday 15 May 21 and the final workout will be at 0900 hrs on Sunday 16 May 21.

In your pairs, you will complete each workout before resting and administering yourself. Your team will be able to rest in the gym between each workout. Some events will be entirely indoor based, some may be outdoor, others may be a combination of both.

Some of the workouts will scored in a competition format and winners will be announced at the end. The real winner of this event should be Stay In Step.
