Fittest Warrior Games

Fittest Warrior Games 2026
September 19–20, 2026 | Warrior Axe CrossFit | Columbia, SC

The Fittest Warrior Games is a two-day test of strength, engine, grit, and composure under pressure.

Hosted by Warrior Axe CrossFit in partnership with TCB CrossFit, this event is open to all athletes—military, first responder, and civilian alike. No uniform required. If you train hard and compete with integrity, you belong here.

Over two days, athletes will face 6–7 challenging events designed to test:

Absolute strength
Barbell cycling under fatigue
Gymnastics proficiency
Aerobic capacity
Sprint output
Odd object control
Mental resilience
One event will honor a Hero. It will be announced closer to competition weekend.

This is not random programming. It’s strategic, balanced, and built to reward preparation.
