FESTIVUS GAMES @ CrossFit Natomas-

Have you been training and working out but didn't get a chance to compete yet? Or maybe you just want to come and support some of your NorCal Snowboarders who will be competing and cheer them on?  :)

The first Festivus competition was held on April 30th, 2011. The concept was simple yet long overdue. Since novice and intermediates make up 95% of athletes it made sense to have a competition designed only for them. 

At Festivus Games it’s not necessary to scale the events. No athlete, whether six months in or brand new, will need to scale any of the events. The competition is about capacity more than a high degree of skill. Everyone can row…just how fast? Everyone can deadlift..just how much?

On April 18th, 2015 Novice and Intermediate athletes from across the country will compete, all on the same day, in this one-day event. Each host will award the top three finishers in each division for both male and female classes.
