Calisthenics, street workout, CrossFit and HYROX events I keep an eye on: when they are, where to watch, and what's worth watching for.
CrossFit · Rogue Invitational · Aberdeen, Scotland (P&J Live)
The eighth edition and the third year in Aberdeen, the closest elite fitness competition to home. Invite-only fields for fitness and strongman, so the standard is ridiculous and the gymnastics events are a masterclass.
HYROX · HYROX race season · London (ExCeL, Royal Victoria Dock)
The big London race week, with Elite 15 singles on 3 Dec and doubles on 4 Dec. It's been on my race calendar before, and it's a good excuse to keep the running honest through the winter.
HYROX · HYROX race season · Manchester (Manchester Central)
First UK race of 2027. Dates are from a published spring schedule that HYROX hasn't fully confirmed, so treat them as provisional.
CrossFit · CrossFit Open · Online, any affiliate gym
Three weeks, one workout a week, and the only competition where anyone can line up with the best in the world. Reported release dates are 18 Feb, 25 Feb and 4 Mar 2027; I'll confirm on the official site. Handstand push-ups and muscle-ups usually turn up somewhere.
HYROX · HYROX race season · London (Olympia)
The spring London race. Provisional dates from the UK spring 2027 schedule; Glasgow (10–14 Mar) and Cardiff (20–29 May) sit either side of it.
HYROX · HYROX World Championships · Hong Kong (AsiaWorld-Expo)
Reportedly announced in Stockholm as the first World Championships in Asia-Pacific. Single secondary source so far, so tentative until it's on the official calendar.
Calisthenics · WSWCF World Championship · Riga, Latvia (Fantadroms)
The World Street Workout and Calisthenics Federation's world championship, with freestyle, power and endurance disciplines and athletes from around 50 countries. Freestyle on the bar is a different sport to what I do, but the static holds and pull strength are humbling.
CrossFit · CrossFit Games · San Jose, California (SAP Center), opening events at the original ranch
The 20th Games went back to California, opened at the ranch where it all started, repeated the 2007 Hopper and packed in 20 scored events. Lots of gymnastics volume worth studying for HSPU and muscle-up pacing.
Result Men: James Sprague. Women: Aimee Cringle (UK). Team: CrossFit Whip (per Wikipedia).
HYROX · HYROX World Championships · Stockholm, Sweden (Strawberry Arena)
Season finale across Elite 15, Pro, age-group, doubles and relay divisions. I watch the Elite 15 for pacing: how the best runners survive the sled pushes and wall balls without blowing up.
CrossFit · CrossFit Games Semifinals · Ciudad Real, Spain
The second European in-person semifinal, also with three spots per division. The two European events plus an online semifinal decided the European Games qualifiers.
CrossFit · CrossFit Games Semifinals · Paris, France
One of two in-person European semifinals for the 2026 season, with three Games spots each for men and women. The closest place to watch Games-level gymnastics live without crossing the Atlantic.
Calisthenics · Calisthenics Cup · Cologne, Germany (FIBO)
A freestyle and endurance competition run alongside the FIBO trade show. Listed on CaliBase; I couldn't confirm results, so it stays marked tentative.
CrossFit · TYR Wodapalooza · Miami Beach, Florida (Lummus Park)
Moved from its usual January slot to March and shared a festival weekend with HYROX. Beach events and big crowds; the elite fields double as an early-season form guide.
Dates marked tentative come from a single secondary source or haven't been confirmed by the organiser yet. Some series don't publish a calendar far ahead: Battle of the Bars (the World Calisthenics Organization's long-running freestyle format), UK freestyle jams, and the street-workout competitions listed on CaliBase. I add them here once there's a date.
