Common questions

When and where is TRU Challenge 2026?

Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Hybrid Athletics, 5197A 216 St, Langley, BC. Check-in opens at 8:00 AM. See the official page for the final schedule.

What does the competition day schedule look like?

Check-in opens at 8:00 AM, the athlete briefing follows around 8:30 AM, and the four workouts run in heats from roughly 9:00 AM through the afternoon, with finals for qualifying divisions and awards in the early evening. Team CFBC adds its own blocks: carpools leave the gym at 6:30 AM, we warm up together 45 minutes before every heat, and we take the team photo 30 minutes before the final heat. Exact heat and lane assignments are published by TRU Challenge in the race week athlete guide.

How much does it cost?

Early bird pricing is CA$120 per individual and CA$240 per team, paid through the official registration site. Early bird closes at 11:59 PM Central on August 2, 2026 (9:59 PM Pacific) and the organizers have said the price goes up after that. Register by September 12, 2026 to get the free event shirt. Registration closes October 10, 2026.

Where do I actually register?

Registration is handled on the official TRU Challenge site (competitioncorner.net). We do not process payments. Use the 'Register on the official site' button anywhere on this page.

What divisions are offered?

Individuals plus Same-Sex and Mixed-Sex Pairs (MM, FF, MF). Divisions: Novice, Intermediate, RX, Masters, and Adaptive. RX is new for the October 2026 event, added for athletes who have outgrown Intermediate but are not yet in the top-tier firebreather group. Masters age is based on your age on December 31, 2026.

I've never competed. Which division should I pick?

Almost every first-timer at CFBC picks Novice or Intermediate. Talk to your coach or DM us in the CFBC HYROX/Comp WhatsApp group and we'll help you decide.

I want to do the pairs division. How do I find a partner?

Message us or drop your name in the CFBC WhatsApp community. We'll help match you with someone at a similar level from inside the gym.

When do the workouts get released?

The official TRU Challenge site posts the WODs in the lead-up to race day. Check tru-challenge.com/wods for the current release. We'll coach you through each standard once they're live.

Can my family come watch?

Yes. Spectators are welcome and free. Bring folding chairs, snacks, and a loud voice. Little kids do great here.

What if I need to scale on the day?

Every workout has scaling options and standards for each division. Your CFBC coach will help you decide the version that lets you compete safely and enjoy it.

Is there parking at Hybrid Athletics?

Yes, but it fills fast. Team CFBC will organize carpools in our WhatsApp group so most of us arrive together.

How should I train in the weeks leading up?

Keep coming to class. In the last 8 weeks, ask a coach to help you sprinkle in comp-style couplets and triplets. Deload the final week.

Can I volunteer instead of competing?

Absolutely. The host gym takes volunteer applications directly through their form. Ping us if you'd rather cheer for Team CFBC than compete.

Where do I get updates?

The official TRU Challenge site is the source of truth for schedule, WODs, and rules. For CFBC-specific team logistics (carpools, warm-up time, tent location), join our WhatsApp community.

Are the movement standards videos out yet?

Yes. TRU Challenge has released official movement standards videos for all four workouts, with a separate version for Individuals and for Pairs. Watch the four that match your registration, then bring your questions to class. They are embedded on this page under Movement standards.

Do I watch the Individual or the Pairs standards video?

Watch the set that matches how you registered. The Pairs videos cover the extra rules that only apply to partner formats, like changeovers and work splitting, so do not substitute one for the other.

Do I get a CFBC Competition shirt?

Yes. Every CFBC member on the TRU Challenge roster gets one of the Competition Baby Blues, our light blue CFBC comp shirt. It is not for sale, you earn it by putting your name on a competition floor. Add your name to the roll call so we can size you before print day.

Is the CFBC Baby Blues the same as the free event shirt?

No. The free event shirt comes from TRU Challenge if you register by September 12, 2026. The Baby Blues is CFBC's own competition shirt for members repping the gym on the floor. Most of our athletes end up with both.

When is the Baby Blues size deadline?

Send your size to the Team CFBC roll call by September 26, 2026, 11:59 PM Pacific. Sizes go to the printer the next morning and we do not run reprints, so late sizes miss the run. Shirts are handed out at the gym in the week of October 12, 2026.

Who is eligible for a Baby Blues shirt?

Active CFBC members with a confirmed TRU Challenge 2026 registration, individual or pairs, any division. One shirt per athlete, free to competitors, and it is not sold in the gym.
