The Battle on the Border is a team competition with one male and one female per team. There will be Intermediate and Beginner divisions. The competition will consist of three workouts and a floater WOD as a tiebreaker.

Don’t be scared, it is designed to cater to those who are just getting started on their competitive path!

The categories will be similar to last year. While we haven't set the workouts yet, we do have some standards to help you decide if you should enter as a Beginner or Intermediate. We'll release the WODs over the summer via videos on our YouTube and other social media channels. You can see last year's WODs here.

Failure to adhere to the standards of the overhead walking lunge will result in the partners being sent back to the last 5' increment.
