Georgetown, Guyana, will play host to some of the best names in the region in the CrossFit arena when the Kares CrossFit Caribbean Championship kicks off today and ends tomorrow.
Despite the presence of some of the big names in the sport, the local judges for the event are not overwhelmed by the presence of top-tier athletes on show, as they have spent years becoming best qualified and prepared for the event.
One of the judges, Lee Fung-A-Fat, is motivated by his role, as he believes the event will further showcase Guyana’s ability to host major CrossFit events in the future.
Fung-A-Fat indicated they have prepared through an in-depth course, and while these athletes are very experienced, they are more than equipped to ensure the event maintains high judging standards.
This year’s event has already attracted the attention of top athletes from the Netherlands, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Suriname, the Bahamas, and French Guiana.
Kares CrossFit has collaborated with Competition Corner, a dynamic registration, planning, and scoring software built for functional fitness and weightlifting competitions globally.
In August–September, the Kares CrossFit Caribbean Championship aims to host a scaled event in Trinidad and Tobago, while the 2025 edition of its main event is headed to the United Kingdom.
Today, athletes will head to the National Aquatic Centre at Liliendaal for a series of workouts and will return to action tomorrow at the National Park tarmac at 11:00am.
