LANZAROTE SUMMER CHALLENGE 2024 COMPETITION RULES

1. DATES, LOCATION, CATEGORIES

1.a. LANZAROTE SUMMER CHALLENGE 2024 is an international CrossFit competition. This event has the peculiarity of taking place near the beach, combining all the requirements of a CrossFit competition of the highest level with exercises on sand, mat and water.

The location of this year’s championship will be in three locations: one location of the event will be in the Islote de la Fermina, in Arrecife (Lanzarote), another in the Puerto Deportivo de La Marina and the third in La Playa del Reducto, home of the previous editions, retaking the sensation of feeling the sand under our feet enjoying this wonderful beach. These locations allow us total control in the execution of all the relevant security measures. It is a unique location that gives us the possibility of combining CrossFit events with aquatic events.

The competition will take place on 10 and 11 August 2024.

* The date and venue are subject to the pandemic situation at the time and may be postponed or changed if necessary. In such a case, the organisers will give as much notice as possible.
