Delivering a CrossFit Games experience
Year after year, we’ve taken great pride in running an event that gives every local CrossFit athlete, from intermediate to advanced, a CrossFit Games-level experience. We do this by aligning great workouts, top athletes, awesome judging and volunteers, caring sponsors, and amazing fans at every event we hold. Fortunately, this job is made easy by having an awesome CrossFit community right here in our backyard! Whether or not you are a competitive athlete, the Turkey Challenge has always been an event you can count on to get an ultimate experience! Your road map to the Turkey Challenge this November...
Phase 1 - Online Qualifier
The Online Qualifier is a way to pre-test athletes & teams on their fitness levels as well as improve the quality of the event. The Online Qualifier is also an additional avenue to have fun and compete. The programming is flexible enough that you can do these workouts at your gym or garage, and can do them with fairly minimal equipment. In addition to competing for an early access invitation to the Championship in November, you are able to win some awesome prizes from local sponsors!
