TYR Wodapalooza Moves to Miami Beach: A New Home for the Winter Fitness Festival
TYR Wodapalooza, the premier winter fitness festival, is moving to Miami Beach, and it seems like a perfect match. After 12 years at Bayfront Park, the event is shifting to a new location that offers more space and flexibility for competitors and spectators alike.
Why the Move?
According to Dylan Malitsky, VP of Loud and Live Sports, the decision to move was driven by the need for more space. "We were starting to burst at the seams as far as what we could do from a competition perspective," he said. The event has consistently drawn large crowds and elite CrossFitters from around the world, making it difficult to accommodate everyone in the previous location.
The New Home
The event will take place on the beach, between 6th and 10th Street on Ocean Drive, allowing for a more flexible approach to event design and workout possibilities. Malitsky sees this as an opportunity to create a more dynamic and engaging experience for athletes and spectators. "This just opens up the playbook for us to really ideate and create this thing exactly as we see fit," he said.
What to Expect in 2025
The 2025 TYR Wodapalooza will feature a new location, new challenges, and new opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills. While the swim component will not be part of the event in 2025, water events will return in the future. Malitsky reassured that the move is not a permanent change, but rather a step towards a new era for Wodapalooza.
The 2025 Roster (So Far)
The 2025 TYR Wodapalooza leaderboards are still being finalized, but some elite athletes have already been confirmed, including Arielle Loewen, James Sprague, Pat Wellner, Ricky Garard, and Dani Speegle. Spectator tickets are now available.
Conclusion
The move to Miami Beach marks a new chapter for TYR Wodapalooza, offering a fresh start and new opportunities for athletes and spectators alike. With its new location, the event is poised to continue growing and evolving, providing a unique and exciting experience for all involved.
