HISTORY
We launched the OPEN+LGBTQ in 2018 as the first and only all-inclusive CrossFit Games leaderboard for the LGBTQ+ community.
Through our work with CrossFit, we're now teaming up to celebrate those who are OUT in the OPEN for the 2020 CrossFit Games Open.
We'll aggregate scores from the OPEN onto this website and leaderboard and provide an avenue for our athletes to directly compete.
Most importantly, OUT in the OPEN is all for charity, benefiting The OUT Foundation’s programs as we continue to advocate for access and inclusion in fitness, access to health and wellness for our community, and more.
BE OUT IN THE OPEN!
We promote friendly competition between LGBTQ+ athletes and allies, to allow all gender identities to participate in a sport we love and to raise funds for The OUT Foundation and its programs.
WHAT IS OUT IN THE OPEN?
OUT in the OPEN is OUTWOD's all gender, 100% inclusive leaderboard for the LGBTQ+ community and allies and corresponds with the 2020 CrossFit Games Open.
WHY SHOULD I SIGN UP?
You know you're going to sign up for The CrossFit Games Open, so why not show your pride and be OUT in the OPEN!?
Plus, for the first time ever, the Top 7 RX Men and Top 7 RX Women finishers on our leaderboard will earn a chance to compete in The OUTWOD Championship at the West Coast CrossFit Classic in Del Mar, California in March 2020.
Just $10 gets you in for some fierce competition and a chance to head to the West Coast CrossFit Classic to represent the LGBTQ+ community.

WORKOUT 20.6 - SAY WHAT?
20.6 is...a fundraising challenge!
The TOP 15 CrossFit Men's Standards competitors and TOP 15 CrossFit Women's Standards competitors will be tasked with fundraising as much money as possible before Monday, November 25th
- How will this be scored?
- 1st place gets 1 point added to their total, 2nd place gets 2 points added, etc.
- Will this affect placement in the 2020 OUTWOD Championship?
- Yep!
We will announce the TOP 15 competitors on Thursday, November 14th. You'll have the opportunity to fundraise for these top athletes until 12:00AM PST, Monday, November 25th!
2020 LEADERBOARDS
As part of our dedication to create the most inclusive leaderboard experience, you will notice that for our weekly winners, we use the "ALL RX" and "ALL Scaled" leaderboards.
Additionally, while we know the CrossFit Games system forces you to choose a gender (something we are working diligently to address with HQ) - you will notice that our verbiage uses "CrossFit Men's Standards" and "CrossFit Women's Standards" so you may choose the movement standards you wish to compete under, even if you do not identify on the binary.
While we know this isn't the perfect solution - it is a step in the direction of which we will forge our path to full inclusion.
Leaderboards will be updated every Thursday by 9pm EST for the prior week.
