They describe it as CrossFit’s “all-star game”; and for the last several years, it’s brought the fittest men and women from around the globe together in teams for a little friendly competition. This year, the Reebok CrossFit Invitational will take place at the Margaret Court Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and we couldn’t be more anxious for November 5th to get here. Having the event in Australia this year is quite fitting, considering how well they did at the Games.

The teams for the USA, Canada, Europe, and Pacific have yet to be announced, in addition to this year’s events (although you can probably guess who you might see); but if previous years are any indication, we’re undoubtedly in for a treat. Last year’s Invitational included accomplishing a max snatch and clean and jerk, a handstand walk relay and the infamous 500-pound Pig. With CrossFit’s knack for creativity, we don’t expect this year to disappoint. And as these athletes repeatedly raise the bar year after year, plan on competition being tight!

Similar to previous years, there will be an Affiliate Competition prior to the big show, where fans will have the opportunity to compete. Staying true to the CrossFit culture and community, the Invitational is about bringing people together with a shared love of fitness and fun competition, and being something everyone can participate in.

Tickets will be available online, by phone or at the box office; and registration is open for anyone who is interested in volunteering. For anyone who can’t be there in person, you’ll be able to watch it live at Games.CrossFit.com, as well as on their Instagram and Facebook pages. November will be here before you know it; so stay tuned for updates and announcements.
