Newbury CrossFits Summer Throwdown

RX Scaled Team of 4 Mixed
Newbury Rugby Club, RG14 7RW

Do Battle in Berkshire this summer, and be the first to experience a brand-new outdoor competition hosted by Newbury CrossFit. 

We're inviting 50 teams (25 intermediate, 25 RX) of two males and two females to throw down with us in the sunshine* on Saturday 23rd July. Early bird entries of £140 per team - or £35 per athlete -  are now open, and each team will get:

  • Four creative workouts to challenge athletes of all standards (8.30am - 4pm)
  • A Live DJ throughout the day and for partying until late
  • Food vendors and bar access throughout the day
  • A brilliant outdoor venue with covered seating (no charge for spectators)
  • The chance to win podium prizes from great partners
  • If you're travelling more than 80 miles we'll do our best to accommodate a later heat time, and we'll run online workout briefings to give you a little lie-in. Email admin@newburycrossfit.co.uk for more information.
  • *Sunshine cannot be 100% guaranteed, but a brilliant competition can
