The top 40 Individual Men and top 40 Individual Women will vie for the title of Fittest on Earth® over five competition days consisting of 13 grueling events. The Age Group and Adaptive divisions will face down eight events, and the Teams will do 11 events.

Competition for Age Group and Adaptive divisions also kick-off that day. Continuing the Individual competition are two events on Aug. 5, and three more on Aug. 6, followed by a cut of 10 athletes in each division before the final three events on Aug. 7.
The events for all Individual divisions are listed below, and will continue to be updated as they become available.
