Italian Showdown, the challenge that unites
More new records for the biggest fest of the Italian CrossFit Community, which celebrates the achievements of enthusiasts of all ages and levels
Registration sold out in just a few weeks, with hundreds of athletes on the waiting list for a dream: testing themselves on the largest international competition arena open to individuals and pairs. The 2026 Italian Showdown confirmed its commitment to fitness, uniting athletes of all abilities and experience, with unprecedented numbers: +166% in Team participation and +90% in Masters participation compared to the average of previous editions!
The eleventh edition of the first Italian Licensed CrossFit® Event, held from 29 to 31 may 2026 at RiminiWellness, was once again the most attended celebration of fitness and health for the Italian Community, where all enthusiasts were able to take to the field alongside their peers and compete on the leaderboard against athletes of the same age range and ability level for an entire weekend.
An unforgettable experience
Thanks to divisions tailored to the actual abilities of those taking classes, the 2026 edition saw the largest attendance ever, not only of expert athletes but also of enthusiasts experiencing the world of competition for the first time. The Doubles competition, making its debut this year, was a resounding success, with pairs of athletes of all genders tripled compared to previous editions' Teams. Furthermore, the number of athletes in the 35 to 60+ age ranges nearly doubled, thanks to the unique Italian Showdown format that highlights Age Groups across all ability divisions.
The twelfth edition of the Italian Showdown will return to RiminiWellness on 28-29-30 May 2027, with registrations opening on January 1st!
