CrossFit fans get ready, because CrossFit HQ just released the (almost) full schedule for the 2018 CrossFit Games Season. With the CrossFit Lift Off recently coming to a conclusion, athletes are now beginning to shift their focus on the 2018 Open Workouts. 2017’s season was filled with plenty of ups and downs, so we’re excited for what 2018 has in store.
The dates ordering of competitions throughout 2018 are in similar fashion to previous years, but there have been some changes within some competition, like Regionals. So whether you’re a fan, or an athlete, below are some important dates and information to keep in mind for the 2018 CrossFit Games season.
