The 2024 CrossFit Games season is set. It will kick off with workout 24.1 in the 2024 CrossFit Open on Thursday, Feb. 29, 2024. As is always the case with the CrossFit Open, participating athletes who finish in the qualifying percentile will advance to the Quarterfinals, which allow athletes to qualify for the Semifinals, which offer entry to the 2024 CrossFit Games. The Games will feature Individual, Team, and Age Group divisions.
Adaptive divisions, which will expand to host 15 divisions, will be part of the WheelWOD competition, which will host its 11th annual competition in 2023. Athletes who intend to compete in the 2024 CrossFit season will need to register for the three-week-long 2024 CrossFit Open, which ends on March 18, 2024. Per CrossFit’s press release, “Registration for both the CrossFit Open and the Adaptive CrossFit Open by WheelWOD begins Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024.”
