QUARTER 2
Masters HQ (April)
This competition typically takes place in April and begins as an online qualifier competition. If you progress to quarter and semi finals, the most recent semi finals competition was held at Injustice CrossFit in Rockingham. It’s specifically designed for our more seasoned athletes, often referred to as ‘Masters’ in the CrossFit community. The Masters category in CrossFit is for athletes aged 35 and over, with further age divisions as athletes get older. These categories allow older athletes to compete against others of a similar age, providing a level playing field. The Masters HQ competition is perfect for these athletes looking for an individual challenge. Age is just a number, and fitness can be pursued and enjoyed at any stage of life. The competition is as fierce and the community is as supportive as in any other CrossFit event, making it a highlight of the annual CrossFit calendar for many.

Festivus Games (April)
This year, in 2024, was held on April 20 at CrossFit Perth. Not just a local competition here in Perth, but is a worldwide competition and this one is, as they say, “for the rest of us”, meaning not full of incredibly top level skills and weights, more accommodating for novice and intermediate athletes! You can participate as an individual or as a team of 3. We will update this as 2025’s dates are announced!

Sagitta Triples (May)
This teams of 3 event, was held on May 4, 5 at Byford Secondary College this year, 2024. Unlike pairs or teams of four, the dynamics of a three-person team require a different strategy and level of coordination. Each member’s strengths and weaknesses become even more critical, as there’s less room to hide weaknesses and more reliance on each team member’s contributions. The challenge lies in effectively coordinating and leveraging the strengths of all three team members to perform optimally across the various workouts. This makes the Sagitta Triples a thrilling and unique competition in the CrossFit calendar.

While the event promotes a sense of community and camaraderie, make no mistake – the competition is fierce and the workouts are challenging. The athletes push their limits, proving their toughness and determination. But it’s not just about the competition – Girls Gone Rx also serves a greater purpose. It’s a fundraiser for a breast cancer charity, making it a meaningful event that combines fitness, community, and a good cause. The event offers two divisions: Rx and BAM (Badass In the Making), catering to both experienced athletes and those new to competiting.
