History
When Regionals went away in 2018, the West Coast was left without a premiere fitness event to showcase its athletes. The NorCal Classic was created to fill that void and to bring back everything the CrossFit community loved about the early days of competition. That meant gritty, high level tests, athletes of all ages and abilities, and an outdoor vibe undeniable to our region.
