Drumstick Dash Night at Victory Field
Early Fall 2025
September 21, 2024
Show off your fitness in this team competition to raise money for local people who are hurting and experiencing homelessness. First, teams of 10 people (5 men and 5 women) raise funds for Wheeler Mission, then they compete against other gyms in a one-day crossfit-style competition at Park Tudor School. It really is a win-win event for the whole community!
Why does CrossFit 180 participate in Strength in our Streets?
CrossFit 180 has joined us for 8 years because Strength in our Streets brings their CrossFit family together while raising money for a great cause.
We look forward to seeing our teams have fun while supporting the community each year. Thank you CrossFit 180 for donating your time and energy to Wheeler Mission.
