Why Compete At The NXF Classic

Strength Before Stamina

Strength and capability come first. Conditioning follows.

Every Modality Demands Something Different

Bike. Run. Row. Ski. Carry. Push. Pull. Sprint. Each demands a different response.

The Distance Keeps Closing

Longer efforts become shorter, faster, and more intense.

Seven Stations. Seven Tests.

Every station challenges a different aspect of fitness.

The Unpredictable

Sledgehammers. Power punches. Rope climbs. Sandbags. Atlas stones. Expect the unexpected.

Capability Before Capacity

Don't just endure more. Do more under pressure.

The Competition — 7 Stations, 14 Challenges

PROVE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF.

Men's & Women's Competition — $250 First-Place Prize

Forge Festival

The NXF Wellness Festival is where fitness, wellness, education, local businesses, families, and community come together for an interactive day of discovery. Explore 75+ vendors, fitness and wellness experiences, classes, challenges, expert speakers, food, recovery, family-friendly activities, and more.

This isn't a festival you simply walk through. It's designed to be experienced. Try something new, join a class, take on a challenge, meet wellness professionals, discover local brands, learn from experts, and find new ways to improve how you move, think, fuel, live, and grow.

The experience is built around NXF's five pillars of lifelong wellness:

Mindset

Think Better.

Movement

Move Better.

Nutrition

Fuel Better.

Lifestyle

Live Better.

Momentum

Keep Growing.

Together, they create a broader approach to becoming healthier, stronger, more resilient, and more capable.

You don't have to compete to be part of NXF. Come for the festival, watch the competition, bring the family, connect with the community, and spend the day exploring everything NXF has to offer.
