The Wellington Cup
August 2013, 2014, 2015
CrossFit Central Wellington was the driving force behind The Wellington Cup in 2013, 2014 and 2015. This was a weekend where 60+ volunteers from the gym gave up their entire weekend to help judge, set-up, reset equipment and cheer on the athletes with the common goal of putting on a show for the Wellington and New Zealand CrossFit Community! Every aspect of this competition over those years was entirely down to the dedication of our members and their families and what a show it was!
