Individual and Team Events are set to be announced on Wednesday May 26, 2010 along with the final schedule. The planned schedule has been released here.

The following information applies to ALL athletes- Individuals, Teams and Masters. This page is "live" and will be constantly updated leading up to event.

There are 2 venues, both in Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. The city of Okotoks is south of Calgary, about a 45 to 60 minute drive from the Calgary Airport (YYC) depending on traffic. There is no convenient public transportation so if you are flying in you should plan to rent a car or find a ride with another participant/spectator.

The 2 venues are:

Natural High CrossFit
113 Fisher Street
Okotoks, AB Canada

Natural High CrossFit is a fully equipped, 4600 square foot CrossFit affiliate opened in 2009.

Murray Arena
Okotoks Recreation Centre
Okotoks, AB Canada

The Murray Arena is an official full size ice skating surface with space for up to 1000 spectators. Athletes please remember to bring your skates (joking!)

Schedule:

Friday May 28, 2010 at Natural High CrossFit
3pm to 5pm... Athlete Check-in mandatory for All Athletes- Individual, Masters and Teams
5pm to 8:30pm... Workout- All Athletes

Saturday May 29, 2010 at Natural High CrossFit
All Athletes- Plan for this to be an all day event.

Sunday May 30, 2010 at Murray Arena, Okotoks Recreation Centre
All Athletes- Plan for this to be an all day event.
Closing Ceremony to end by 6pm.

Catered BBQ will be available at the venue both Friday (dinner) and Saturday (lunch and dinner). Food choices will be appropriate for both athletes and spectators. All proceeds will go to Kid Sport charity. Hamburgers and hot dogs will be available in addition to:
Spolumbos Chicken and Apple Sausage x 1 plus yams = $6
Spolumbos Chicken and Apple Sausage x 2 plus yams = $9

Natural High CrossFit has two bathrooms/changing rooms with showers. We ask that you do not plan to use the showers to be fair to the hundreds of other people that will need use of the restrooms. Portable bathroom units will be available as well.

The Murray Arena has lockers rooms. As it seats 1,000 people there will be plenty of restroom facilities available. Food will be available on site.

Coolers with food and beverages are allowed at both venues but there will be very little storage area for personal items at Natural High CrossFit available so we ask that all personal items be left outside. A strict no alcohol policy will be enforced.

Please leave your pets at home.

Spectators:

Spectators please register through the CrossFit Games site. Day passes will also be available at the door. Kids 12 and under are free.

There is a $50 charge for spectators, which gets you two wristbands for the entire event. This means you will be able to get one other person in with you. That second individual will need to be with you when you check in at the registration booth at the entrance to the Event Center the weekend of the Regional Games. There is no online registration needed for the second person. Onsite (Sunday only) individual, single day passes will be sold for $25.

Parking:

Parking will be available on the streets around Natural High Crossfit as well as at Seaman Stadium for free. Map to follow shortly. Seaman Stadium is a 5 minute walk from Natural High Crossfit.

Parking at the Murray Arena will be in the parking lot and will also be free.

Vendors/Sponsors:
