The 2018 Reebok Crossfit Games will take place from August 1 to 5 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin. This is the second year in a row that Madison has hosted the games and the city will continue to host them for the next two years.
The Crossfit Games are already underway with Friday’s events scheduled to begin at 10am ET (7am PT, 3pm BST) while Saturday and Sunday’s events will begin at 9.30am ET (6.30am PT, 2.30pm).
The Crossfit Games started all the way back in 2007 on a small ranch in Aromas, California and for the first two years the event was open to anyone who came to participate.
However, in the last few years the sport of Crossfit has gained tremendous popularity worldwide and the Crossfit Games have expanded to the point where there are now three stages of the competition: The Open, Regionals and the Games.
The athlete categories are Individuals and Teams and Masters and Teenagers. Since all of the different athlete categories will be competing at the same time, it’s probably a good idea to check the full schedule (opens in new tab) if you don’t want to miss American Mat Fraser who won the games in 2016 and 2017 or Australian Tia Clair Twomey who won in 2017.
