Next Saturday, we train for James. 🤍
James Gulley wasn’t just an incredible athlete. He was one of the first people in Charlotte to step into the world of HYROX — long before most people here even knew what it was.
He competed. He trained. He pushed himself. And in many ways, he helped pave the way for the HYROX and hybrid community that has grown so much in Charlotte today.
James was a pioneer.
But more importantly, he was our friend.
Next Saturday, we’re turning our HYROX training event into something much bigger than a workout.
We’re coming together to run for James. To work for him. To sweat for him. And to celebrate his energy, kindness and unforgettable smile.
And in the middle of the floor, there will be one empty treadmill for James.
As we train, that treadmill will remain empty — a symbol of our friend and the athlete who should be there alongside us. A reminder of how fragile life can be, and how incredibly blessed we are to be here, surrounded by people we care about.
This one isn’t about times or who finishes first.
It’s about James.
We’re opening two sessions — 9:00 AM + 10:30 AM — so more of our community can be part of this day.
All proceeds will benefit James’s son, Archer, and his family.
If you’re a local business, vendor, organization or volunteer who would like to help make this day even more special, please DM us. We’d be grateful to have you be part of honoring James.
Whether you knew James or simply want to stand with a community honoring one of its own, we hope you’ll join us.
Come train. Come support. Come remember.
For James. 🤍
