TRU Challenge October 2026 @ Old Glory Gym

Grab your gym partner and jump in the TRU Challenge!

TRU Challenge is for the everyday Rx, Intermediate and Novice athletes only.

If you compete in the RX or Elite divisions in large, in-person competitions (such as Wodapalooza or Big Impact Games) or place in the top 10% of The Open or top 5% of your age group division in The Open, you are ineligible to compete in the TRU Challenge.  If you choose to sign-up and we find out that you are, in fact ineligible, you will be disqualified and not be offered a refund.

Since 2011

Since 2011, TRU Challenge, formerly the Festivus Games, 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 TRU Challenge has grown to over 17,000 athletes a year!

When you compete in the TRU Challenge 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.
