The Freedom Hall Fitness Center hosted a team torture event May 16 in support of National Fitness Month.
Teams competed in a relay consisting of four obstacles: a 50-meter tire flip, a 50-meter log carry, a 50-meter body drag and a 200-meter relay. Each team had four competitors, and each obstacle required the effort of the entire team.
