Last year, Iron Mile had an amazing time at the Nor Cal Classic. It wasn’t just that the Nor Cal Classic was so amazing, it was BECAUSE SO MANY OF YOU signed up to compete! We had teams and scaled athletes all over the place, not to mention; masters and even a teen athlete.

This year there will again be Scaled, Elite, Masters and Teens along with Individuals and for the first time, Pairs! The Online Qualifier starts next week and is literally designed for all of you to come along side and jump in. We will do all the workouts at the gym during regular class times.
Maybe you secretly want to be out there competing at the main event or maybe you just want to support NCC and see what it feels like to do these workouts along side your fellow Iron Mile athletes. Either way, REGISTER NOW at www.thenorcalclassic.com and make sure you select ‘Iron Mile’ as your gym/affiliate.

Who knows? Some of you can be going to the main event in September!
