“I started Fan Fit Challenge because of 3 reasons. I wanted to give an incredible fitness opportunity to everyone. I wanted to allow people to connect with great Olympic level athletes and Canadian Stars. And I want to help support athletes coming up in Canada. The reason why I’m passionate about it is because I have deep appreciation for performance and testing.” – Andrew Russell, 2008 Olympic Canoer, Founder of Fan Fit Challenge on why he created this fun and engaging community fitness event allowing people of all ages to be active and work hard.
