Test your team's Strength , Speed , and Stamina at the 2023 S3 CrossFit Games!

Every year S3 holds multiple events throughout the year with each event being intentional, which includes a lot of thought, timing, and overall planning. Each one is different, including non-profit events to competition events, with each event hosting a unique challenge to the athletes. The S3 CrossFit Games gives our community an opportunity to get together in a friendly and competitive environment, while testing ourselves with the encouragement of our teammates.

Like the CrossFit Open earlier this year, this 5-event test is set to challenge athletes for the hard work that's been invested throughout the year within the S3 and CrossFit communities.

The 2023 S3 CrossFit Games is a 3-person team competition with 4 divisions: Women Rx, Men Rx, Women Modified, & Men Modified. This 5-event test will consist of 1 Strength event, 2 Speed events, and 2 Stamina events. The top 4 teams from each division will advance to the final event - CHAOS!

The S3 Games is a 1-day competition that will be fast paced starting at 8a with finals around 2p.

Master’s Athletes Although there will not be a separate master’s division, master’s athletes are encouraged to participate and may be part of an Rx or modified team. These athletes will have modifications to movements & weights. The age for women master’s athletes is 40+ years of age and the age for men master’s athletes is 45+ years of age. A team may be comprised of 1, 2, or 3 master’s athletes.
