2024 CrossFit Games: Everything We Know (So Far)

We’re a few days away from the start of the 2024 CrossFit Games, which will be held this year in Fort Worth, TX. 

• There will be plenty of time for jokes about “first rodeos,” but it’s definitely not the first rodeo for Dave Castro and the Crossfit Games team. This is the 18th iteration of the sport’s pinnacle event. 

The details: The CrossFit Games team has been slowly releasing details of the event and we’re keeping our readers on top of all of the developments.
