The Community Male/Female Division is built for training partners, spouses, siblings, coworkers, and friends who want to challenge themselves together.

No pressure. No ego. Just an unforgettable experience surrounded by a community that will cheer you on from the first rep to the last.

Grab your partner and join us this October.

Every great challenge is better with someone beside you.

The Community Male Division is for the guys who train together, compete together, and push each other to become better.

You just need the willingness to step onto the competition floor and see what you’re capable of.

Find your teammate. Accept the challenge. We’ll see you in the desert.

The Community Female Division is designed for women who want to challenge themselves, celebrate hard work, and experience the energy of competition in an encouraging environment.

Whether this is your first event or your tenth, you’ll leave stronger than you arrived.

Find your teammate and join a weekend you’ll never forget.
