The heat was not stopping dozens of athletes from competing in a Crossfit Competition.
"It’s a good fitness program. I think a lot of people see it just as a competition type of thing, but it’s mainly a fitness program that combines weight lifting, gymnastics, and cardio together."

The event called the Railyard riot takes place in the Railyard for two days.
It places teams of althetes against each other.
They had to compete in a series of weightlifting, running, and pull up challenges.

"The team aspect of it you start competing with someone and suffer with them you just create a bond that’s a little bit stronger and it keeps you going."

Event organizers say competitions allow the Crossfit community to come together and create bonds.
The competition will wrap up july 8th. in the morning.
