🎄 Save the Date for a Festive Celebration! 🎄

We’re excited to continue our cherished tradition of hosting a Holiday Potluck, bringing our amazing community together to celebrate the season.

This year, we’re turning up the holiday cheer by introducing the inaugural Festive Feats of Fitness—an exciting event for the whole family to enjoy!

🌟 Here’s the Plan:

9:00 AM & 10:30 AM: Festive Feats of Fitness
Classes will extend to 1.5 hours each for the day. Join us for as long as you’d like—whether it’s an hour or the full time to complete all the challenges!

• Back Squat

• Press

• Deadlift

• Snatch

• Clean & Jerk

• Chin-Up Hold

• Handstand Hold

• Double Unders

Each accomplishment earns points for your team (e.g., 1 lb lifted = 1 point, 1 second of a hold = 1 point, 1 skip = 1 point). There might even be a trophy to win… and, of course, ultimate bragging rights!

Our coaches will be on hand to guide, encourage, and cheer you on, ensuring it’s a fun and memorable experience for everyone.

12:00 PM: Holiday Potluck Lunch
Bring a dish to share and enjoy a delicious spread of community favourites. We’ll have a cozy movie playing for the kids, followed by our traditional thank-yous, awards, and time to connect with friends.

🎅 We can’t wait to celebrate the season with all of you—fitness, food, and festive fun await!

We will be hosting Youth Junior Meet on Saturday November 30. We would love to have you come out and support our athletes (or even volunteer if you are able)!

This is free for participants but we will gladly accept cash donations, which will go directly to the Saskatoon SPCA.

We also will have a Hot Dog stand & Refreshment throughout the event. Thank you to the Clapson family for donating their time and cart, and taking care of all these details for us! They will be selling the following, and will donate a portion of the funds to the SPCA as well!

You can register as a team (up to 4 people). If you are registering as a team, have one person complete registration and add each team member as a “guest” during registration. If you forget or want to add another team member, simply have them register themselves and send an email to val@crossfitonefifty.com to confirm team members.

Registration fees are $40/person and 50% of that goes to the Saskatoon SPCA, as well as all extra money raised by teams and photo booth. Upon completion of registration, each team/participant will be sent a pledge form to do some more fundraising if they wish.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Is the course suitable for kids? YES! This event is for all ages and skill levels. The approx 1km loop leaves from and returns to the gym, with mutiple volunteers directing and cheering along the way.

• Do team members run one at a time or seperate? It is really up to you. A regular relay has one person running at a time but we are all out here to have fun, so if you would prefer to move as a group (or partial group) that is wonderful! We will have a “baton” for team members to pass from one person to the next.

• Can I bring my pet? Yes! This is a fur-friendly event and all pets are welcome! The SPCA will also have some adoptables at the event too. We just ask that all pets be kept on a lead :)
