Our annual intra-gym competition, the Outlier Civil War, is returning! Mark you calendars for September 26th – October 10th, we will be back in action for the best competition of the year. Things will be different this time around. It won’t be a one day free-for-all as in years past…we will spread the competition out over five days. This will allow us to keep individual event participation to a reasonable size considering the 2020 COVID world we live in, but still allow us to be as inclusive as possible to all of our members.
This will be the 5th installment of very unique community competition here at Outlier. The event is open to current members of Outlier Athletics only. Participants split in to large teams (8-12 people) and compete in a wide variety of events. This is an all-inclusive event, each participant, no matter their experience or ability level, will equally contribute to their teams success.
In years past this has been one day competition with 8-10 events lasting all day. This year, we will split the events up to span 5 days: 3 Saturdays, and 2 mid-week days. This will keep the event sizes down, and allow flexibility in scheduling participants for each event. The competition will abide by current state/county mandates and social distancing requirements.
Dates
- Day 1 – Saturday 9/26
- Day 2 – Wednesday 9/30
- Day 3 – Saturday 10/3
- Day 4 – Wednesday 10/7
- Day 5 – Saturday 10/10
Saturday events will take place from approximately 8am – 11am. Wednesday events will just be the regular class workout of the day, you will be able to complete the event at whatever normal class that you would attend that day. Participants are not required (nor expected) to be in attendance on each of the 5 days. Coaches will work with their team to assign athletes to workouts on days that fit in their schedule, doing their best to evenly distribute their athletes throughout the events.
