The Annual K9 Kitt Workout
The K9 Kitt Hero WOD
A Nationwide Annual Community Event
Every year, gyms across the country come together to honor K9 Kitt and Officer Billy Cushing — and to raise funds for the K9 teams who serve and protect our communities.
The K9 Kitt Hero WOD is more than a workout.
It is a moment of remembrance, unity, and purpose.
Annual Date: The first Saturday closest to June 4
(Marking the anniversary of the incident in 2021)
