Yesterday, CrossFit I announced that the NorCal Classic was a late addition to the In-Person Qualifying Events for the 2025 CrossFit Games season. The news came a day before the start of the online qualifier. This morning, on WODProof, the workouts for the online qualifier were released.
So as you will see, Event 1 features a “new” movement…traveling double-unders! Yep, athletes have to traverse up to 200 feet while completing double-unders. Seriously.
In total, there are six scored events for the NorCal Classic online qualifier. According to Competition Corner, athletes have until 11:59pm on January 30 to submit their scores. The top 35 men and women will earn an invite to compete in-person at the NorCal Classic in June.
Organizers will then also invite 15 more athletes via at-large spots, making the final field 50 men and 50 women. The top 2 men and women will earn a trip to compete at the 2025 CrossFit Games.
