This was the very first weekend fitness competition hosted by us. The unique aspects of our competition was both the true variation in testing imposed on competitors and the education sessions included. I hope all who competed enjoyed the experience, learned something about themselves and found their limits. FYI - Next year's competition will be held on the Labour Day weekend. Just an FYI.
