What is the PairUP ThrowDOWN?

This year’s PairUP ThrowDOWN is the first of what will be an annual event for CrossFit, which gives athletes a chance to see how they measure up to others around the globe without the pressure of the Open or full season.

The event is virtual, offering “something to all athletes everywhere — at a CrossFit affiliate, in a garage, anywhere in the world.”

Sign-up for the event is still open, and athlete couples must sign up and submit their workout times and scores between Thursday, May 20, at 12:00 p.m. PT (noon) through Monday, May 24, at 12:00 p.m. PT (noon).

Further details:

• Partner options — M/M, W/W, or mixed pair
• One workout to complete any time between Thursday and Monday
• Rx’d and scaled divisions, plus age groups — Open, 35-44, 45-54, 55+
• Judge not required but recommended for top performers
• Video required for performance-based prizes

Top performers and affiliates of the PairUP ThrowDOWN will win CrossFit Games tickets valued at over $120,000.
