The new RX Division is for athletes who are:
More advanced than Intermediate
Stronger/more experienced than typical Intermediate competitors
Not ranked in the top 10% of The Open
This gives advanced athletes a division that better matches their ability level.

It's designed for everyday athletes who enjoy:
Fitness
Competition
Community
Challenging themselves
Having fun
The workouts are designed so you'll look at them and think:
“I CAN do that.”
Expect:
✅ Big energy
✅ Loud cheers
✅ Tough workouts
✅ High fives
✅ Community vibes
✅ PR moments
✅ Memories you'll talk about long after the final WOD
Whether it's your first competition or your fifteenth, TRU Challenge is about challenging yourself, supporting others, and having a great time.
