Remaining Invites
NorCal is also looking to fill the remaining 15 spots for the elite individual division. But rather than sending out invites and waiting for a response, NorCal has asked athletes who finished in the top 200 in Quarterfinals to send NorCal a DM on Instagram to claim one of those spots.
The 2026 NorCal Classic is May 29-31 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California. The top 2 men and women will receive an invite to compete at the CrossFit Games.
