Babes With Barbe11s

Babes with Barbells 2026 will have a new look!

This year our goal is to take the concept of a 5k/10k race and apply it to the world of fitness. If you have seen the ATHX races popular in Europe and trending to the States then you will be familiar with this style of competition. Our mission is to provide a fun, efficient, and easily accessible experience for all of our competitors. As always this is still an all female competition with a bias for accessibility of those new to fitness competition.

A full breakdown can be found below.

Babes Open is our division for the everyday athlete looking to challenge and compete with themselves. But don’t worry, there will still be a podium! While we aim to make the competition as inclusive as possible, we still recommend athletes be familiar with the following movements: -Barbell clean, shoulder to overhead, front squat, back squat, and deadlift. 

-DB Snatches, Cleans, jerks, and deadlifts.
