CONTENDER CROSSFIT OPEN INTRAMURAL TEAMS 2026 ARE HERE! 🚨
Drafts are officially complete and teams are set! Contenders, check your emails — you’ve been drafted to a team and your inbox has all the details including your coaches, captains, team name, and what to expect over the next few weeks.
🔥 What is the CrossFit Open?
The CrossFit Open is a global, 3-week competition that brings the entire CrossFit community together. Athletes of ALL levels participate — from first-timers to seasoned competitors. Every Thursday starting February 26th, a workout will be released (26.1, 26.2, 26.3), and here at Contender we turn it into a full-blown community experience with Intramural Teams and Friday Night Lights.
🏆 Intramural Teams
Teams were drafted at random and each team has Coach Captains and Team Captains leading the charge. You’ll also be added to your team’s Facebook group for announcements, education, motivation, and weekly updates.
