Upcoming Events

Hyrox PFT and PFT-PRO

Saturday, June 20th 
8am - 12 noon

The HYROX Physical Fitness Test (PFT) is a fast-paced fitness challenge designed to measure endurance, strength, and overall athletic performance, giving you a taste of a HYROX. The PFT combines running with functional fitness movements commonly found in HYROX races, making it an excellent benchmark for athletes of all levels.

​

Participants complete all exercises in order, aiming to finish in the fastest time possible. Whether you're preparing for a HYROX race, testing your fitness, or competing against friends, the HYROX PFT provides a challenging and measurable assessment of your fitness level. 

​

The PFT-PRO adds a little Fitfarm flare to the regular PFT, by adding in two more 1000m runs, a heavy sled push, and pro weight wall balls and lunges. This is for the athlete wanting to feel the pro weights, and adding a bit of a different challenge. 

​

These are completed solo. No doubles options! 

Fitfarm gear for the fastest male and female times of the day!!

Bethany grew up with a passion for sports and fitness, playing every sport her parents would allow her, including gymnastics, soccer, hockey, volleyball, field hockey, and diving. After starting track and field in high school, she then made it her primary sport and continued on to compete in both track and cross country while attending The University of Western Ontario studying Kinesiology, being the captain of both teams from 2005-2007. Bethany has competed at Provincial and National Championships and represented Canada in the 2006 World University Games in Cross Country.

Little Loop 2026

A huge thank you to all of the racers who came out and braved the weather, pushing through six hours on the course with incredible determination. What stood out even more than the miles covered was the energy—your positivity, encouragement, and constant cheering for one another created something truly special. That spirit is what makes this race so much more than just an event.

We’d also like to extend a special thank you to Willow Tree Golf Course for allowing us the use of their beautifully rustic course and for their outstanding hospitality throughout the race. We do want to apologize for the timing system not working as smoothly as we had hoped, but we’ve taken the time to compile accurate results for everyone.

Looking ahead, we’re already exploring a chip timing system for next year to make the experience even better. We’re also getting all the race photos ready to share very soon, so keep an eye out! And finally, we’ll be announcing next year’s date as soon as possible, along with an early bird registration special—so stay tuned!
