2025 Adirondack Fitness Challenge Online Qualifier Updates!
The Adirondack Fitness Challenge Online Qualifier is almost here, and this year, we’re raising the stakes! With an extended submission deadline and a doubled prize purse of $5,000 for the in-person event, 2025 is shaping up to be our biggest year yet. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare, compete, and give it your all.
Online Qualifier Extended
We’ve extended the submission window to February 10, 2025, giving you 19 total days to complete 3 workouts (with 4 scored sections, since Workout 3 includes two parts).
This change ensures athletes have plenty of time to showcase their fitness, even with overlapping commitments like Wodapalooza. Use the extra time to strategize, recover, and crush your workouts at your absolute best.
$5,000 Prize Purse for the In-Person Event
We’re thrilled to announce that the 2025 Adirondack Fitness Challenge prize purse has doubled to $5,000 for the in-person event!
The Online Qualifier is your pathway to earning a spot on the competition floor in Lake Placid, where top athletes will compete for their share of the prize pool. Whether you're chasing a podium finish or simply aiming to make it to the in-person event, this year’s stakes are higher than ever. Let this inspire you to push harder, train smarter, and leave it all on the floor!
