By January 19, 2026February 9th, 2026No Comments

FIRST: If you’re here and you don’t know what “the Open” is, click here to read our explainer.

Back by popular demand, we’re bringing back our CFC Intramural during the 2026 CrossFit Open! This is a friendly, in-house team competition designed to add an extra layer of fun, accountability, and community to an already great event.

We’ve done this many times before, and it’s always one of the highlights of the year. Expect challenging workouts, lots of encouragement, and plenty of team pride.

What’s New for 2026

1️⃣ CFC Intramural registration is now completely independent of the worldwide CrossFit Open.

That means:

  • You can do the CFC Intramural only
  • You can do the CrossFit Open only
  • Or you can do both

Totally your choice.

2️⃣ CFC Intramural athletes will have the opportunity to buy an exclusive “CFC Intramural” t-shirt!

Details to come, but these will be available only to folks that participate in our event.

How Teams Work

  • Teams will be finalized just before the announcement of Open Workout 26.1 on February 26th
  • Teams are built by the coaching staff to balance:
    • Experience levels
    • Genders
  • Each team will:
    • Have at least two Coach Captains
    • Be assigned a team color (Red, Green, etc.)

Team Green is the two-time reigning, defending champion. Will anyone knock them off the throne this year?
