I found an event on facebook -
CrossFit Austin and Westlake CrossFit bring you a free Halloween CrossFit workout in the Park. Give yourself a reason to indulge in costumed revelry this Halloween! Meet us at Town Lake under the South 1st bridge, with your best costume on and be a part of the Austin CrossFit revolution.
This will be an instructor-led one hour CrossFit session. The perfect opportunity for those curious about CrossFit to finally try it out, the beginner to build on their skills, or the Fire-breather to destroy another WOD. If you plan on attending please RSVP on our Facebook invitation or just meet us at Town Lake between 10 and 10:30 so we can get started promptly at 10:30 AM.
