Common questions

When and where was TRU Challenge 2026?

What was the published competition day schedule?

The published plan was: check-in 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. The Team CFBC plan added 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. TRU Challenge was the source for heat and lane assignments in the race week athlete guide.

What were the published registration prices?

Early bird pricing was CA$120 per individual and CA$240 per team, paid through the official registration site. Early bird closed at 11:59 PM Central on August 2, 2026 (9:59 PM Pacific) and the organizers said the price would go up after that. The free event shirt deadline was September 12, 2026. Registration closed October 10, 2026.

Is registration still open?

No. TRU Challenge was held on 17 October 2026. Registration was handled on the official TRU Challenge site (competitioncorner.net). CFBC did not process payments.

What divisions were offered?

Individuals plus Same-Sex and Mixed-Sex Pairs (MM, FF, MF). Divisions: Novice, Intermediate, RX, Masters, and Adaptive. RX was 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.

Where were the workouts released?

The official TRU Challenge site published the WODs in the lead-up to race day. The event workout reference is tru-challenge.com/wods.

Were spectators welcome?

The published event information welcomed spectators free of charge and suggested folding chairs and snacks.

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. The Team CFBC plan was to organize carpools in our WhatsApp group so most of us could 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.

What was the volunteer option?

The host gym handled volunteer applications directly through its form. The 2026 event has ended.

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?

The published policy offered every CFBC member on the TRU Challenge roster 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. The roll call size deadline has passed.

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

No. The free event shirt comes from TRU Challenge for registration 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?

The published size deadline for the Team CFBC roll call was September 26, 2026, 11:59 PM Pacific. The policy scheduled sizes for the printer the next morning, with no reprints for late sizes. Pickup was scheduled 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.
