Warm-Up
The warmup is located on the GROUND-LEVEL just inside the Ford Gate. You will enter where it says, “CrossFit Athlete Warm-Up.” This will take you under the stadium and into the shade. Only registered athletes will have access to our designated on-site warm-up area. For safety and space reasons, this area is limited to competitors only. You’ll find it clearly marked right by the main entrance of the stadium.
WOD Check-In
There is no mandatory athlete briefing or set arrival time. Upon arrival, check in at the CrossFit Check-In Tent located outside the stadium gates to receive your swag and credentials for entry.
You must report to your designated event stage check-in no later than the heat before your scheduled heat time.
Example: If you’re in Heat 4, you must check in by the start of Heat 3.
Check-in for both stages will take place at the warm-up area, where our Athlete Control Team will brief you on the WOD details.
Please make sure to review all WODs before event day.
Refer to the layout for more details.
