What is herd fest?
HERD FEST 2025 is the inaugural Northeast year-end fitness celebration — a one-day spectacle designed to showcase the strength, grit, and community of athletes across every division. Too often overlooked, the Northeast is home to some of the most talented and passionate competitors in the sport, and this is their stage to shine.
On Saturday, November 22, 2025, the historic Morristown National Guard Armory transforms into an electrifying arena, packed with unmatched energy and crowd-pumping intensity. Athletes will face 4 epic tests, battle for their place on the leaderboard, and throw down for a $15,000+ cash prize pool.
And for those who can’t make it in person — the action will be streamed live on The Sevan Podcast and The HERD ATHLETICS Channel, bringing the excitement straight to the fitness community worldwide.
This isn’t just another competition — it’s the grand finale of the season and the very first chapter of a new tradition. A day to push limits, celebrate accomplishments, and be part of a community that thrives on challenge. Whether you’re stepping onto the competition floor, cheering from the stands, or tuning in live, HERD FEST’s inaugural year promises unforgettable moments and a send-off to 2025 you won’t want to miss.
Mark your calendar. Bring your crew.

Morristown: A Revolutionary Stronghold
- Dubbed the "military capital of the American Revolution," Morristown was the site of two critical Continental Army winter encampments—first in 1777 and later during the brutal winter of 1779–1780—chosen by General George Washington for its strategic location and defensive terrain.
- The town's Ford Mansion served as Washington’s headquarters during the second encampment, where he and his staff conducted planning amidst extreme hardship.
- Sites such as Jockey Hollow, Fort Nonsense, and the New Jersey Brigade encampment are preserved today within Morristown National Historical Park—established in 1933 and notable as the nation's first National Historical Park
