During the 2026 CrossFit Open, we’ll be running the CHALK Intramural Open — a three week, in-house team experience that runs alongside the Open and brings everyone together on Friday nights.

The focus isn’t on being the strongest or fastest in the gym. It’s about showing up, putting in an honest effort, and being part of the atmosphere that makes the Open such a great few weeks at Chalk. Whether you’re fully registered for the Open or just joining in for the experience, everyone has a role to play.

What Is the Intramural Open?

The Intramural Open runs at the same time as the CrossFit Open, but with a Chalk-specific format.

All members are placed into one of four teams — Raccoons, Silverbacks, Tigers, or Grizzlies. Over three weeks, you’ll complete the Open workouts and earn points for your team through participation, weekly challenges, and involvement during Friday Night Lights.

Everyone is automatically entered — no sign-ups required. You don’t need to be competitive or experienced to take part. Every workout completed, every rep done, and every bit of effort counts.

Raising Money for Charity

This year’s Intramural Open also gives us the opportunity to support great causes. Each team captain will select a charity, and members can donate any amount to support their team’s chosen cause.

Charity Donation 1 point for making a donation (multiple donations still count as 1 point). Donations can be made at reception — please complete the donation form so points can be tracked.

At the end of the 3 weeks, all donations raised will go to the winning team’s chosen charity.
