2026 CrossFit Good Fortune Intramural Open

The CrossFit Open is one of our favorite times of the year and we’re bringing the energy back with the 2026 CrossFit Good Fortune Intramural Open. This three week in-house competition is all about community, friendly competition, and using your fitness in a fun, supportive environment.

Whether this is your first Open or you’ve been around the block a few times, the Intramural Open is designed so everyone can participate, no matter your experience or fitness level.

What is the Intramural Open?

The Intramural Open runs alongside the official CrossFit Open. Members are placed on teams, earn points through workouts & participation, and compete together over the 3 weeks. At the end, we'll celebrate and announce a winning team.
