Divisions / How You Compete

RXThree fields: Co-ed (MM/FF) · All Male · All Female

The RX Division is the heartbeat of the Never Forgotten Games. The workouts are designed to be completed as written, challenging athletes to perform at the highest level possible. RX competitors come from all walks of life to honor first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice by competing in their memory and giving their very best effort.

Scaling options will be available to ensure every team has the opportunity to participate safely. However, for scoring purposes, any workout that includes a scaled movement or weight will be ranked below all teams that complete the workout entirely as prescribed (RX), regardless of time or repetitions completed.

Co-ed (MM/FF) All Male All Female
