If any of the top 10 pass on the offer to compete at this event, we will work our way down the list until we fill out the roster.

Flagstaff is the coolest place in Arizona in July. Close to the grand canyon (1:30 mins drive) and also close to beautiful Sedona, AZ (1:17 mins drive). This event promises to be a lot of fun for both you and your family.

Athletics will be run by the SAAA and be subject to the rules and regulations listed on our website saaa-national.org

If you are a current SAAA member, or purchase an SAAA membership at the event, we will credit you $10.00 in person. We are working on adding this functionality to Heavy Athlete, but for now, please bare with us as we work together with Heavy Athlete to make this happen in the future for all of our paid current members.

We look forward to this new event and seeing all of our amazing athletes come out for two days of competition, fun and laughs with friends. See you all very soon!
