WODCELONA celebrates fifth edition as Europe's largest inclusive CrossFit competition

2 July 2026, 11:53 (83 days ago) · BurpeeTalk News editorial

Barcelona will once again host WODCELONA this autumn, Europe's largest inclusive CrossFit event. From September 11 to 13, para-athletes and able-bodied competitors will battle side by side on the same floor, a format that has firmly established the competition as a fixture in the international CrossFit community.

Behind the event is Marc Gil, known for his victory at Wodapalooza in 2017 and founder of the non-profit organization Limited Edition Athletes. Through that organization, Gil has long championed equal participation for people with disabilities in functional fitness competitions.

For CrossFitters with an interest in inclusive sport, WODCELONA stands as an inspiring example. The event demonstrates that elite competition and diversity can go hand in hand, and continues to grow in scale and reputation across Europe with each passing edition.
