Organizers say 50 athletes of all ages participated in the second qualifying event for the Fittest of Elk Grove Saturday, growing the field of participants and finalizing the contestants for the finals later this month.
The contestants gathered at WarriorZ CrossFit; the top finishers will join those who qualified at an event at CrossFit 916 last month.
"Also having a 13 year old girl and a 64 year old man really shows that fitness does not have any age barriers!" Elk Grove City Council Member Steve Detrick, the father of organizer Brian Detrick, said in an email. "Congrats to all of the men and women that are moving on to the finals on October 21st!"
Boys from Byers Gymnastics also performed an exhibition during the event, Detrick said.
