Location: The Wildflower - Norwalk, OH August 7th, 8th & 9th

Athletes ranging from toddlers to adults gathered at the inaugural Northern Ohio Fitness Festival over the weekend to face unfamiliar tests of strength, endurance, agility and power. Events covered a wide range of variable elements, including an obstacle course, a truck pull, bag throws, barbell lifts and more.

The most challenging test of the weekend was the unknown.

Crew members figuring out tasks on-the-fly. Athletes learning new skills only moments before putting them to the test. Spectators measuring themselves and wondering if they could do what these competitors are doing...

Among all the adversity, the beauty of the community shone through.

The vision for year 2 is now shared among many. This event was fun, challenging and most importantly, inspiring.

Enjoy this photo gallery.

Next year's will be EPIC.

Thank you ALL for being a part of year 1.

WE WON'T FORGET WHO WAS WITH US FROM THE START.
