Fitness Combine – April 18

Collegiate football players are getting ready for the NFL by participating in the Football Combine. Now is the time for you to measure your fitness levels too, at the Norpoint Park Fitness Combine on April 18.

This timed combination of a 1-mile run with fitness stations mimics the Combine used during National Football League draft. It’ll provide a great morning workout and help you measure yourself against your age group. The competition is open to people at any fitness level, ages 12 and older. Eight timed fitness tests will challenge participants including a 40-yard dash, 3 cone drill and tire drag. Afterward stop by the Center at Norpoint for the free family Spring Fling followed by April Pools Day!
