Ever wanted to meet and talk fitness with an Olympic Gold Medalist?

Bellevue’s Olympic Day celebration on Thursday, June 23 at the CrossFit Bellevue facility near Factoria will be your chance to do all that and more.

Anna Cummins, who brought home a silver medal in the 2004 Athens Games in Rowing (W8+) before winning a gold in Beijing four years later in the same event, will host the event along with her husband Dr. Bob Cummins and CrossFit Bellevue.

According a press release for the event, it is “open to ages five to 105” and is totally free of charge.

Bellevue is one of some 200 cities around the country that will be hosting an official Olympic Day celebration. The date commemorates the birth of the modern Olympic Games in 1894.

There is a full slate of events scheduled for both the morning and evening sessions including opening and closing ceremonies, a proclamation from Bellevue Deputy Mayor Conrad Lee, activity stations for both kids and adults to get their bodies moving and a series of presentations centered on wellness and creating an active lifestyle.

Families, youth sports teams, Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops and others in the community interested in wellness and fitness are invited to participate and take in the festivities.

Events will be hosted at the CrossFit Bellevue facility located at 13425 S.E. 30th St. in Bellevue near Factoria.
