Formerly known as the Festivus Games since 2011, the TRU Challenge focuses on capacity rather than advanced gymnastics. Designed specifically for athletes who are not pure-RX competitors, the one-day event heads to CrossFit Elk Grove in Elk Grove, California, on April 24, 2027.
Athletes can compete as individuals or in teams of three. Divisions feature Novice, Intermediate, and Masters categories for men and women, alongside extensive individual Adaptive divisions covering upper extremity, lower extremity, seated, neurological, intellectual, short stature, and vision classifications. Individual registration is 85 USD, while team entries are 255 USD.
Registration opens on October 23, 2026, and closes on April 17, 2027. The competition is strictly reserved for novice and intermediate participants; RX, elite, and top Open finishers are ineligible.

TRU Challenge, formerly the Festivus Games, since 2011, is a competition for "the rest of us" - for the 95% of athletes who aren't pure-Rx firebreathers. 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?
Since the first competition with about 70 athletes Festivus Games has grown to over 17,000 athletes a year!
When you compete in the Festivus Games you can expect to be challenged but you can also expect to have a lot of fun. When you see the WODs you'll finally be able to say "I can do that!" With your boxmates, you will sweat, laugh, cheer and compete.
