Since their inception in 2007, the CrossFit Games have grown from a small throwdown at the historic Ranch in Aromas, California, to an international celebration of fitness where the CrossFit community comes together to witness the crowning of the Fittest on Earth and connect with other trainers, athletes, fans, and affiliate owners from around the world.
The 2021 CrossFit Games will take place in Madison, Wisconsin, at the Alliant Energy Center, the week of July 27 - Aug. 1. A detailed schedule of the competition will be released at a later date.
During downtime in the competition, fans can take part in many activities. There will be more than 200,000 square feet with vendors and sponsors, a 20,000-square-foot beer garden, space for RV and tent camping, 20,000 square feet of spectator workout space, opportunities to try the same workouts as the athletes, and more! The entire city of Madison will be geared up for the Games and offering great opportunities for dining, drinking, and enjoying outdoor activities throughout the city.
CrossFit plans to run the 2021 CrossFit Games, as it has in years past, as an in-person event with spectators. Should there be changes in the format due to COVID-19, CrossFit reserves the right to alter ticket offerings and issue refunds. Should significant changes be made, ticket purchasers will have the option for a full refund.
