Teen Summer Camp 100K Run for the Disposable Heroes Project (669MB).
I’m joining CrossFit HQ and discounting my t-shirts 40% this weekend. I want to move these shirts before I start thinking about printing another. So, shirts are $12 from now until August 16th. Get yours today!
Summer Camp is over, and the new school year is starting for all CFCC Teens. It was an amazing summer, and I’m working on a video to re-cap it all.
If you are headed back to school, remember you are still welcome at CF Cal City. My punch-card system is perfect for those that want to come once or twice a week without having to pay a monthly fee. See me for more info.
If you can’t make it out to see me, make sure you download the bodyweight workout list here:

Use it to keep your body guessing. Don’t get back into the rut of running and practice, running and practice. You’ll lose what you gained! For those of you who are coming back to see me, you will get even more new techniques as I introduce you to the full Olympic movements and regular lifting days that were near-impossible to handle with the whole crowd in the gym.
See you soon!
Tonight is the big event. The teens hit the road for their 100K run. It’s not to late to come out and support us, or make a donation at http://www.thedisposableheroesproject.com/merchandise. Look for our logo. If you want to come out, there is a rally point for 8 pm at the Cal City Blvd/Ransburg-Mojave corner, aka “the new stoplight”. We’ll be cruising by that point around 8 PM.
The gym will be closed on Monday, for a well-needed day off for me and the family. See you all tonight…. or Tuesday!
Here’s a quick update for you all. The run is 99% finalized, only thing left is to do it!
Meet at Pizza Factory at 5 PM on the 6th of August, head out to start the run at 6 PM. We’ll end up finishing sometime early Saturday morning, depending on our speed. The path will bring into town around 8 PM on CC Blvd, coming north into town near Redwood, so that would be a great place to rally up! In the morning on the 7th, from South Loop to Pizza Factory is a great place to rally up. We’ll be coming back into town from 20-mule team road, hitting Norrht Loop, Poppy, Neuralia, Forest, and South Loop.
On the 31st of July, we are holding a fundraising car wash at the Pizza Factory in Cal City, with an awareness drive at ACE hardware, and a recycling collection running simultaneously.
Donations are still encouraged and being accepted at www.thedisposableheroesproject.com/merchandise, look for our link!
Well, some disappointing news was sent our way last week. After the lawyers got a hold of my proposal, Edwards AFB denied our access for the 100K run. While there are good and borderline reasons, we nevertheless must move on to plan B.
So, plan on doing the run completely in/around Cal City, and we’ll make it just as fun. I’ve got support from Kern county, CHP and Cal City police, so we should be able to put together a great course. More details will be available this week as I set the course and contact agencies involved.
Stay tuned….
JULY 6th UPDATE:
-Start/Finish will be at Cal City’s “Pizza Factory”

The Teens in the CrossFit California City Summer Camp will finish off their summer with a huge event; a 100K team run to raise money and awareness for The Disposable Heroes Project.
Sixteen teenagers ranging from 12 to 17 years old will embark on this journey, and THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
Started by Marine Sniper Brad McKee, the Disposable Heroes Project was created to support Brad’s 100 mile run, which he completed April 2010. The tremendous amount of support and awareness that resulted meant that the Project must go on. Brad now has the goal of raising $250,000 to give to wounded vets and families of fallen heroes.
CrossFit California City is PROUD to offer our services to those who have served us, some by making the biggest sacrifice of all, their lives. Many men and women don’t come home, or come home different than when they left. It is our duty as Americans to not for get them once they come home, and support them in any way possible as they adjust to their injuries and life after service.
Our goal will be to raise money and awareness, as well as tremendous community support for the teens that will be running this 100 kilometer course. If you want to help, please RSVP to this event on Facebook and we will start building lists of volunteers and passing out duties.
NOTE: I am not looking for folks to run, my summer camp kids will be doing all the running!

I have great news for all the Essay Contest entries. They were all so good, so honest.
I had decided to give out two scholarships, the original one from Rich Hodgson and one from us at CrossFit California City. In the very moments I was deciding this, two CrossFit Kids affilates have offered to sponsor two more athletes. The result? All four essay contest entries will receive a scholarship. How cool is that? I will let the individual winners know who sponsored them soon.
I want to thank CrossFit Kids Headquarters and CrossFit On The Move for their scholarships. This is what the CrossFit Affiliate Community is all about, people. Kids, let this be lesson #1. Generosity pays back triple-fold! It’s going to be a great summer!
