Largest Prize Purse in CrossFit Games History

This will be the largest prize purse athletes will receive in CrossFit Games history. CrossFit Inc. has added the adaptive division cash prize and also upped for elite athletes.

In comparison, last year’s CrossFit Games cash prize was $300,000 for 1^st place elite athletes Tia-Clair and Mat Fraser, as they won the Fittest on Earth Title. An increase of $10,000 to top male and female athlete.

In the elite division, 2^nd place got $115,00, and 3^rd place received $75,000. The prize for event winner, however, has not increased from last year.

Teams and masters athletes have not seen an increase in their division’s prize cash, although CrossFit has added the new 65+ division, which receives less than the other age group.

The 2021 NOBULL CrossFit Games will take place in Madison, Wisconsin, from July 27 to August 1^st.
