“We’re incredibly excited to have the attention of the entire CrossFit community focused on our age-group athletes over Labor Day weekend. We had a very small window in which to secure venues that met the specific needs of each event this year. As the CrossFit Games divisions grow and mature, we – alongside our event partners – will evaluate the best dates and locations for future events,” said Dave Castro, General Manager of Sport and Education at CrossFit.

2024 Teenage CrossFit Games by Pit Teen Throwdown
The date for the 2024 Teenage CrossFit Games will be the same as the Masters. So, it will take place from August 29th to September 1st. However, the locations for the Teens will be different, as the competition is set to go down at the Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo and the Pit Fitness Ranch in Three Rivers, Michigan.
The divisions at the 2024 Teenage CrossFit Games will be Boys and Girls (14-15 Years Old), as well as Boys and Girls (16-17 Years Old). Each of the divisions will consist of 30 competitors.
“As we’ve mentioned in the past, our vision for the future is to bring the magic of CrossFit to new audiences, and this can only be accomplished by trying new things in new places. We’re thrilled to watch the fittest teenagers on Earth compete in Michigan and bring the masters competition to Birmingham in the southeast region, which has never hosted a Games event before,” said Don Faul, CEO of CrossFit.
