Types of fitness events in San Diego

CrossFit competitions

Mixed workouts across a full day: barbell lifts, gymnastics and conditioning, usually at a CrossFit gym. Most run team, pairs and individual divisions. LP's Fortius Summer Games and Liftoff are this format.

HYROX-style races

Running combined with strength and conditioning stations, raced for time. LP's version is Run Lift WOD: a run, a lift, then a workout.

Functional fitness competitions

The wider category that covers CrossFit-style events and newer formats. Good fit for athletes from any gym that trains mixed-modal fitness.

Hybrid athlete events

Events that reward running and lifting together. Built for athletes who train endurance and strength in the same week.

How to pick your first San Diego competition

Start with a local event at a level you can finish. The LP Box Crawl is the lowest-pressure entry point: a one-day stop at a partner gym, with the $50 event T-shirt as your registration. If running is your strength, start with Run Lift WOD. If you train CrossFit five days a week, enter the Summer Games or Liftoff at RX or Intermediate.

What to bring on event day

  • Photo ID for check-in and your registration confirmation.
  • Two sets of training clothes and shoes for lifting and running.
  • Your own jump rope, grips, belt and wrist wraps.
  • Water, food for the full day and a chair for between heats.

Questions

What fitness competitions are in San Diego in 2027?

LP Compete runs three signature events in San Diego in 2027: the Fortius Summer Games in September, Liftoff in October, and Run Lift WOD, a hybrid run-lift-workout race. The LP Box Crawl series adds smaller stops at partner gyms through the year. All dates are posted by January 1, 2027.

Do I need to be a CrossFit athlete to compete?

No. Every event has an Intermediate level built for first-time competitors, and Run Lift WOD suits runners and lifters as much as CrossFit athletes.

What divisions do LP events offer?

Teams of 3, Mixed Pairs and Individual. Each division runs at three levels: Advanced, RX and Intermediate. The divisions are the same at every LP event.

Is there a Masters division?

No. Masters athletes compete in the open divisions at the level that fits them.

How do I register?

Registration runs through Competition Corner and opens on each event page. Athletes from any past LP event get a 15% code for the next one.
