ATHX Games becomes an official CrossFit partner event series

CrossFit has entered into an official partnership with ATHX Games, bringing the organization into a new category of recognized partner events. XENOM had previously signed a similar agreement with CrossFit.

The ATHX Games format resembles the well-known Gauntlet at Wodapalooza, but runs considerably longer. Where the Gauntlet takes around one hour, athletes at ATHX Games can expect roughly 2.5 hours of competition, with the workouts remaining the same throughout the event.

The new category of CrossFit partner events appears to be a deliberate move by CrossFit to broaden recognition of the competitive circuit outside the official Season. For athletes who follow or plan to compete at international events, ATHX Games is a name worth watching.
