The Road to Minnesota for the 2018 Kill Cliff Granite Games begins in earnest this week with the announcement of the first of three qualifying workouts. Fitness athletes across the globe will tackle the weekly qualifying tests — spanning from now to July 2 — with the shared goal of joining the 2,000 strong slated to compete September 7-9 in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

By Lincoln Shryack Welcome to the first weekend of Regionals! Nine total regions will be contested across the globe over the next three weeks to determine which five athletes per region (Meridian Regional will have four qualifiers, Latin America will get one) are fit enough to move on to August’s Crossfit Games. Everybody who’s anybody will be testing themselves over the next month in a grueling series of six events to try to punch their tickets to Madison, Wisconsin, for the Games in early August.

CrossFit HQ is back at it again with some of their best content ever: the Road to the Games series.

Dave Castro surprised everyone by putting up 18.5 to a community vote and then made it even crazier by announcing three of the gnarliest Open workouts of all time as the options: 11.6, 13.5, or 14.2.

It’s 18.5! If you’ve survived every Open workout up until this point, this final test is nothing you can’t handle. Or at least that’s the way I’m choosing to look at it… 

CrossFit is about having the general physical preparedness to take on just about any task, so what's it like when two of the fittest people on earth try out something new? 

The 2018 Open workout announcements are full of rock-star matchups, and I’m going to tell you who will win each of them.

We found out last week that the 2018 CrossFit Games Open is going international, and now we know who to watch at each of those matchups.

The time has arrived for the 2017 CrossFit Games Invitational. This year is set to put on a show with the host location being down under in Melbourne, Australia. 

At the end of 2015, there were rumors surrounding Sara Sigmundsdottir moving to a new region. Specifically, she was aiming for California.  During that process, though, she ended up in Cookeville, Tennessee, throughout the Open and won the 2017 CrossFit Games Open while living and training there. Since she can't live in one region and compete in another, HQ moved her from California to Central for Regionals.
