Due to unforeseen circumstances we are no longer able to use Again Faster as our major sponsor at the Schwartz's Challenge this year.

They have and are still helping us as much as they can for this years event. I hope our strong relationship can continue. Again Faster are a massive supporter to the CrossFit community in Australia.

Lucky for us that the Australian Crossfit community is so vibrant and strong that we are lucky enough to bring in another major sponsor this close to the big dance. @AlphaFit have jumped on board to literally save the day and will now be our major equipment sponsor for this year and hopefully for future events.

Lastly, we are all very pumped for this years Challenge and I think the work outs will be the most exciting we have ever had!

Thanks,
Ben Schwartz

The Schwartz's Challenge is a community event.

Some may not believe this, but the majority of the entry fee and sponsorship/stall holder fee's go straight into the $15,000 prize purse. There are of course other major costs around an event like this, in particular the venue hire.

Countless people are involved in the event every year, all of whom put in the hours because they love the event and wish to be part of it. We have some talented graphic designers onboard, our main sponsors provide a lot of man hours in equipment and apparel preparation, and my wife does a large part of the administrative work. I always try to thank these people at the end of the weekend.

But, the group of people that probably impress me the most, is our VOLUNTEER JUDGES. Needless to say, without these, there would be no event. Over the previous eight years, we've taken pride in the best possible judging standard we could get, and this year should be no exception.

So, if you are an experienced judge (Regionals or similar) and would love to be part of the 2015 Schwartz's Again Faster Australia Challenge, Powered by Unbroken Athletic Apparel - please PM us, as we are still looking for a few more judges.
