To kick off the holiday season Rob Mackay and Donald Peterson will be embarking on a 24-hour treadmill run on December 11th, their goal will be to complete a 24-hour distance run on a treadmill as well as to raise funds and awareness for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for MS. The treadmills will be located at Crossfit Zone (613 Herald Street), Victoria but you can also watch the run via webcast here ( www.crossfitzone.ca ).
You can support the run!
These two ultramarathon runners will each be attempting to run as far as they can during the 24-hour time limit and they will be raising dollars for each kilometre they traverse. You can pledge the runners by by visiting the Treadathlon site.
Pondering how much to pledge? Check out the Pledge examples.
24-hours at Crossfit Zone for MS
The Treadathlon is just one of the many events that will be taking place on December 11th at Crossfit Zone. Please come on down and check it out.
CrossFit Zone would like to help out in anyway possible to pledge money for MS. We would appreciate your ideas on how you would like to be a part of the event.
Please post your ideas to the comments section or email deanna@crossfitzone.ca

Cash Out – Coach led mobility wod from K-star’s site
Epic pursuit, and a great cause guys! Like many, MS has affected someone in my family as well.
Besides making pledges, is there an opportunity here to show solidarity and support for the guys by doing some sort of epic, multi-person relay WOD?… I know of at least one other who would be in.
One other… Wonder who that might be?
Deanna, this seems like something we should promote to local news stations / papers. Also, I imagine the people at CF HQ might be interested in sending out a camera guy to do a little CFJ feature.
Sick WOD. IS there still yoga on Monday night?
Hey guys,
I met with Donald last week and we threw around a few ideas – he’s already hooked up some media people and we’re working on some local celeb’s (under wraps for now).
We thought that we could run a row challenge concurrently with the treadathlon – i.e. get people to sign up for rowing times and try to accumulate as many kilometres as possible in 24 hours. We’ve also considered doing “a WOD an hour”, possibly covering all the major named CF wods in the 24 hour span (CrossFit Fort Vancouver did something similar already).
We’ll get in touch with HQ, Scoots I agree there could be some more widespread interest in this!

PS. this is Rambo: Part 2 ;)… we did this WOD a while back for the first time, check myfrantime.com for time targets to hit!!
this wod was done over a year ago. it will be interesting to see the difference now lol
i would be intersted in doing some sort of WODathon. i just wanna be around to witness this crazy sweet day.
Totally into what Adam/Cam are discussing! I agree, the media would like be v interested. Please let me know if I can help with anything there.
