Fitathlon Challenge at Sherwood Island

About 300 participants took part today in a Fitathlon at Sherwood Island State Park. The new sport is a fitness challenge that tests muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, athleticism and mental toughness. There are 15-20 obstacles that take place over a 5K or 10K distance involving running, climbing, push-ups, jumping and calisthenics. Westport EMS stood by but did not have any patients.
