The Cape CrossFit Wolfpack is arguably the most successful team in South Africa when it comes to the Sport of Fitness

But this time around the CCF Wolfpack haven’t only qualified for their 8th consecutive “CrossFit Games Regional” competition, but out of this hard working group of athletes we have also qualified 2 Individual Athletes in Coach Alan Foulis & Coach Justin Swart to compete against the best in Africa, Middle East & Southern Europe.



Being a competitive CrossFit Athlete these days takes A LOT of time, our competing athletes spend an average of +3-4 hours per day in the “box” (gym) to be able to reach the highest level, and as you can imagine a bit of financial support for their travels and accommodation to Madrid, Spain, in June would help a long way. Therefore we are asking friends and friends of friends to support us in raising funds for the teams travel to Europe - but we wouldn’t ask you to do it for “free”..



Instead, the team (including the coach!) will pay you back with 1 Calorie per R10 donated by either Running on the Assault Runner or working on the Assault Bike, both from MiFitness. Both machines will be running simultaneously and the entire workout will be streamed live on our Cape CrossFit Instagram!



What is the CrossFit Games Regionals?

After 5 weeks of “CrossFit Games Open”, an Online Competition where +400k people worldwide competed this year, the 20 best Females, Males, and Teams in 17 Regions across the world get invited to compete at the next qualifying stage for the CrossFit Games.



This year CCF Wolfpack is more competitive than ever before and our two male Athletes placed 4th and 11th in the Africa-Middle East Region, while it looks like our Team is actually winning the Open qualifier in the same Region!

We are the only team in South Africa that have qualified for 8 straight Regional Competitions and we aim to help put South Africa on the map even further after Jason Smith’s amazing performance in 2017 - hopefully we can get the SA CrossFit community behind us and help send our athletes off to the biggest battle of their lives!

If you can’t support here, you are more than welcome to join us on the 5th of May 2018 at Cape CrossFit where we will, just like previous years, also organise a Fun(d)raiser event where we will have a big raffle, fun BIG Team Workouts, a Braai and just a generally cool time to send the team off towards their goals.
