Our 12th Smash Fest is right around the corner and we are doing a few things different.
As always, we will be running this as a mix gender, team of 6 athletes. Each heat will only have 3 teams in it and be capped at 90 min or less heats.
We are reducing the teams per heat, which will allow us massive lanes to incorporate a lot more team work opportunities.
We will test you all on every level, as always, with the goal to find the best all around squad in each division.
We will be capping each division to 6 teams only and this is going to allow us to get you in and get you out. Awards will happen after every division, so you don’t have to be there all day if you don’t want to.
Indoor and outdoor events, weather permitting.
Smash Fest is always one, if not my favorite to program. It’s one of the last few events before the weather starts being dumb.
As always, judging, workouts, and flow of the event, are all top priority to us. We want each person to have a blast and know that the work they put in is rewarded.
Grab your squads and get ready. We are pumped to have you here once again and it’s hard to believe this is year freaking 12!

Out with the OLD, in with the NEW:
👇🏻More below👇🏻
-New Time Format
-Big lanes. Fewer teams. More things to do
-New Beginner Division
-New Scaled Standards
We’ve added an entire new Beginner Division to our event. All loads and movements have been adjusted to fit the athletes that are just starting out. This will allow newer athletes that want to compete an option. On top of that, they have room to grow over the next few years as we have stepping stones to other, more challenging divisions along the way!
If you’re just getting started in CrossFit, this division is for you. We will protect that division and keep those who shouldn’t be in it, out of it! For too many years, the beginner division has been ravaged by those who shouldn’t be there.
Scaled division, we have adjusted the standards and loads a little bit and made them more in-line with the gap of skill we wanted. This division is for those who are in the transition of working skills and loads, but might not yet have all of them.
