Upcoming CrossFit Competitions

The CrossFit Games season ended in July, and won’t restart until 2017, but those looking to compete have plenty to look forward to in September, October, and November.

CrossFit Team Series: September 6 – October 10

Grab three teammates and join in the CrossFit Team Series, presented by Compex. Registration begins Tuesday, August 16, at Games.CrossFit.com.

The Team Series puts two-man, two-woman teams through team workouts.

The first batch of workouts will be released September 6. Teams will have until September 12 (six days) to complete the workouts together and submit their scores.

The second batch of workouts will be released October 4. Scores will be due six days later on October 10.

The top 15 overall (Open Division, Rx’d) will receive a chunk of the $151,000 prize purse.

The Team Series is designed to be inclusive, with two versions of each workout (Rx’d and Scaled) offered so to accommodate varying abilities and extra divisions for masters-aged athletes (40+) and teenagers (14-17).

CrossFit Liftoff: November 3 – 7

Show off your snatch and clean and jerk in the CrossFit Liftoff, powered by Rogue.

In addition to setting your 1-rep-max in each lift, you’ll submit a score on a workout that will test your fitness.

Vote for the CrossFit Games

The 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games have been nominated by the readers of SportsTravel for two SportsTravel awards, including the Best Professional Multi-Discipline / Multi-Sport Event and Best Sports Event of the Year.

Now that we’ve been nominated, our final placing is up to Games fans like you. Make your voice heard by casting your vote before August 15, 2016, at 5 p.m. PT.

Select the CrossFit Games in the professional sports section and click the drop-down menu to vote for the CrossFit Games as the Best Sports Event of the Year.

Since its inception in 1997, SportsTravel magazine has served the sports-related event industry, recognizing those who organize and manage sporting events. CrossFit has been nominated every year since 2012, and won in 2013.

The ninth annual CrossFit Games are in the running with the 2016 Winter X Games, 2016 NBA Finals, U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials and many more major sporting events.

Like few other sports, the CrossFit Games are supported by a global community. Seven hundred fifty CrossFit enthusiasts from around the globe traveled to Carson, California, to volunteer their time. Volunteers moved barbells, stacked weights, built Rogue rigs and performed countless other tasks to ensure the competition ran smoothly.

The 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games featured hundreds of athletes, multiple venues, never-before-seen equipment (paddleboards, hurdles, 203 / 124 lb. kettlebells, pegboards), never-before-performed events, and all of it spanned multiple days with live webcasts, broadcasts and real-time reporting in print and on social media platforms.

The documentary “Fittest on Earth” tells the story of the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games, a test so challenging and compelling that the documentary has gained popularity on Netflix and become #1 on iTunes.

It’s an honor for our young sport to be nominated for these awards for the fourth consecutive year. With the X Games and other longstanding sports in the same division, it will take the support of our community to push us to the top.
