SOUTHERN RIVALS | THE SQUADS WEEKENDER
 

You asked for it so here it is…THE SQUADS competition is BACK for 2025 with an exciting new format! If you liked our previous Squads event, you are going to LOVE what we have in store for you. Imagine a 2-day competition like no other combining a mix of functional fitness workouts using kit you are familiar with, alongside some more unfamiliar events such as open water swimming and a woodland trail run! (Don’t worry, not every team member has to do the water events). Not only are we extending this competition to 2 days, we are also providing teams the opportunity to purchase our onsite camping package which includes pre-setup tent accommodation in a village format, use of toilet/ shower facilities AND full catering meaning you don’t even need to leave the site if you don’t want to!

Join us on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th May 2025 for this unique mixed teams of 6 (3 male, 3 female) competition by CrossFit Southampton. There’s no RX or scaled, the event caters for all abilities with just a handful of minimum ability requirements per team. We will be heading back to Fairthorne Manor, a huge 90-Acre site on the South Coast nestled amongst woodland on the River Hamble. Located just off the M27 between Hedge End and Botley in Southampton. The top 3 teams at the end of the weekend will win some huge cash prizes up to £2500 and stash from our event partners!

Accessible to all abilities, this flagship mixed teams event will feature 6 events over the course of the weekend.  There will be 4 functional workouts using kit you’re familiar with, whilst the other 2 will be a paddleboard agility event (for 2 team members) while the other 4 complete our woodland trail run, and a final swim relay (for 2 team members) with the other 4 completing an on land finisher. The final 3 teams on each day will win some huge cash prizes and stash from our event partners!

Refreshments including top quality speciality coffee from our in-house coffee shop ‘Coffee Box’, energy drinks and snacks will be available on the day as well as breakfast and lunch from our catering partners.

Workout demos and movement standards will be announced online in the weeks leading up to the competition.

We’ll be revealing all of our sponsors and event partners over the coming weeks!

Entry is £120 per person and can be purchased using the link below and 3 stage payments are available - places are very limited! No need to give your team names just yet, we’ll be in touch nearer the time.

Not got a full team yet?

Our ‘Southern Rivals – Free Agent‘ group on Facebook is for any of you looking for remaining team members to get teamed up! 

 If you’re keen to reserve your team spot before having a full team you can just tick ‘add team members later’.

Minimum standards/ability

We’re regularly praised for our event accessibility whilst still ensuring a challenging and fun day. There’s no RX or scaled with this competition, we just ask that as a guide, any 2 of your 6 team members can do the following:

Double Unders
Are confident swimming in open water
Deadlift 100kg/70kg
GTOH – 70kg/45kg
Not all team members need to be able to do these, for example if 2 team members can do pull ups but cannot GTOH 70/45KG, but 2 others can, this is fine.

These are an example of the types of movements and weights you’d need to be able to perform, not a guarantee they will all appear!
