We’re raising funds for St Francis Hospice, a vital part of our community that provides compassionate care and support to individuals and families during the most difficult stages of life. Their work ensures that people facing life-limiting illnesses can do so with dignity, comfort, and the support of loved ones around them. So many local families have been touched by the care they provide, and this is our way of giving back and helping them continue their incredible work for others who need it most.

This year, Rob - Co-owner of Grand Union CrossFit - takes on Backyard Ultra in June. As part of his training we have put together a bigger event for all our members to take part in and test their endurance while having fun with their friends!

We are kindly asking participants to donate to take part and for any other donations to support Rob on race day!

A bit about Backyard Ultra -

A “last runner standing” race where participants run a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour. If you don’t complete the loop within the hour, you’re out—then it repeats until only one person remains. There’s no set finish distance, so it becomes as much a mental challenge as a physical one.

On 16th May, GUC members will participate in a simulated event from 6am - 6pm where they will run a 4.25 mile loop, every hour on the hour.
