Aus Day Mash Up 2026
About This Competition
Celebrating over 10 years in CQ ~ the Aus Day Mash Up is BACK in 2026!
This event was started by Naseeb from CrossFit Rocky back in 2014, and CrossFit CQ and the Elite Fitness League have been honoured to carry on the tradition.
Always a community-focused event, the Mash Up prides intself on being inclusive to all levels, and bring's everyone together for a fun throw-down to kick off the year!
How does it work?
Athletes register as a pair of 1 male and 1 female, and will then be randomly given another pair to throwdown with for the day (to make a team of 4)
We believe the day to be invaluable, as it has traditionally been a competition for first timers, with the pairing of teams allowing affiliates to work together, provide mentorship, create friendships and test their skills.

Workout Description
In 9 minutes:
Athletes will work one at a time through a mandatory buy-in before earning the right to accumulate calories.
Buy-In (per athlete):
24 Toes to Bar
18 Thrusters
9 Burpees Over Box
Once an athlete completes the full buy-in, they immediately move to the designated machine area and begin accumulating max calories on either:
C2 Bike
SkiErg
While Athlete 1 is accumulating calories, Athlete 2 begins their buy-in.
Once Athlete 2 completes the buy-in, they may also move onto an available machine and start accumulating calories.
Athletes continue alternating in this format — buy-in first, then earn calories — until the 9-minute time cap expires.
At 9 minutes -
Rest 2 minutes
Reset and repeat the same format for Event 5
Important Note!: You can change the order 2nd time through

Workout Flow
At the call of “3, 2, 1… Go!”, Athlete 1 will enter the competition floor and begin the buy-in of toes to bar, thrusters, and burpees over the box. Athlete 2 must remain behind the start line until Athlete 1 has completed the full buy-in.
Once Athlete 1 completes the final burpee over box, they immediately move into the machine zone and begin accumulating calories on either the C2 Bike or SkiErg.
At this point, Athlete 2 may enter the floor and begin their buy-in. Upon completion, Athlete 2 may also move to a machine and start accumulating calories.
Athletes may remain on their chosen machine for as long as time allows once the buy-in is completed. Calories can be accumulated simultaneously once both athletes have earned their machines.

Workout Flow
At the call of “Go!”, the first 2 athletes will begin on the floor and start their synchro lunges as M/F pairs Once the first lap is completed alternate to the other M/F partnership and they perform their first lap, once they finish swap again and so on until full distance is reached. Once the required distance is completed, the all athletes will move to the bar and begin their Pull-Ups / Inverted Rows (depending on scaling) until the prescribed reps are reached
Once completed the team transitions to the next synchro lunge segment.
This pattern continues through all rounds of the workout.
Following the final lunge + gymnastic segment, athletes proceed to the Echo Bike (or Concept2 Bike for junior versions) for the individual calorie targets listed per athlete.
