Baltimore Fitness Biathlon to Support ASA

If you haven't heard of Athletes Serving Athletes (ASA), you have probably seen them at races in Baltimore across the mid-Atlantic region. ASA is a non-profit organization which helps empower athletes of all ages with disabilities "to train and compete in over 60 running and triathlon events per year" with the help of donors, volunteers, and the awesome WingMen. I have a couple friends who are WingMen and partner with athletes in completing races and events as well as help push racing wheelchairs for some athletes with disabilities. I would love to become a part of the organization, but right now my busy schedule doesn't allow me to. 

ASA is having this awesome fundraising event called the Baltimore Fitness Biathlon in which 100% of the proceeds will go the organization from 2-4 PM on Saturday, March 25, 2017, just over a week away. It also happens to be right in my neighborhood-it's such a shame I'll be out of town! 

By purchasing a $25 ticket to the event you can choose which type of double-header fitness event you want to complete at local Baltimore gyms including Rev Cycle Studio, Knockout Fitness, Fort Ave Fitness, Reflex Functional Fitness, and a run with Charm City Run. 

You could run with Charm City Run after a 45-minute spin class right across the street at Rev Cycle Studio!

You can choose your own biathlon of classes including the classic (bike and run), the calorie torcher (bike-kickboxing) or live music (HIIT and yoga).  

All of these sound like such fun options, I don't even know what biathlon I would choose! The classic is my stand-by fitness favorites, but it might be fun to throw in some kickboxing or HIIT. It's the perfect chance to try something new and challenge yourself!

The first class will go from 2:00-2:45 PM with 15 minutes of travel time in between (all the gyms are located in South Baltimore and Federal Hill so it's convenient!). The second class starts at 3:00 PM and ends at 3:45 PM. Afterwards there is a celebration with the sponsors including the awesome Gundalow Juice,B'more Organic, Mobtown Fermentation and more. What a fun way to spend your Saturday afternoon in Baltimore!  

More information can be found on the event website and the Facebook event. Tickets can be purchased on Eventbrite.

If like me you can't make it, there is the option to make a virtual athlete donation to still support ASA! You can always learn more about ASA and how to become a WingMan on their website.
