CHAD 1000X is an event that honors Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson and is held to raise awareness for suicide prevention. It commemorates Chad Wilkinson, who tragically took his own life on October 29, 2018.
When: In all classes at CrossFit King of Prussia on Friday November 10th and ALL day Saturday November 11th (Veterans Day) in tandem with our Girls on Girls Event.
Join us at any time on 11/11 to conquer 1000 step-ups solo, join some friends to get it done or contribute to our on-going step up box for the day (which will accumulate all day long)- How many steps can we take?
Raffle and Cost: $10 for registration to participate, this will also enter you into a raffle for some sick GORUCK SACKS and GEAR! Additional raffle entries and donations will accepted at the box.
What: The workout consists of completing 1,000 box step-ups as a team, partner, or individual for time. There are three options for participants:
Beginner: No rucksack, and you can choose the height of the step-ups.
Standard/Intermediate: Use a 30-pound (or 20-pound) rucksack, and you can choose the height of the step-ups.
Expert: Use a 45-pound rucksack and a 20" box for step-ups.
Why: CHAD 1000X aims to honor Chad's life and legacy, as well as raise awareness for suicide prevention. Chad Wilkinson's struggles, including the effects of numerous deployments, several traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), blast wave injuries, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), highlight the importance of supporting veteran mental health.
All proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards supporting Veteran Mental Health Initiatives through The Step Up Foundation. In collaboration with Sara Wilkinson, this foundation will provide financial support to other non-profit organizations dedicated to veteran mental health initiatives.
