Join The Gathering with Ben Bergeron, Wesly Cloos, Kevin Winkens, the Sport is Essential community and many more!
"The Gatherings" is FLTD's positive response to the challenges faced by CrossFit boxes, owners, coaches, and athletes.
We’re hosting a new community event, and we’d love to see you there. Join us online for The Gathering, December 20, 2020. We start at 12:30 CET.
Box Owners and Coaches are invited to join us for some exclusive morning sessions from 09:00 CET.
"We're not all in the same boat, but we're going through the same storm."
That's why now more than ever, our community needs to come together. To share best practices, to learn, to support each other, to grow!
On 20 December 2020, we're bringing a panel of exceptional speakers and contributors together to do exactly that. And we're counting on you to join the movement!
We want to make our program as relevant as possible. That's why our afternoon event is open to all. The morning session will be reserved for box owners and coaches.

COMPLETE 3 WODs within 24 HOURS
The 3 wods need to be executed in 24 hours.
This means that each team member has to execute all the wods in a timeframe of 24 hours.
Because of covid-19 times, it is allowed that the team mates are not at the same location when executing the wods.
Covid 19
every day is a new day
To participate in the online qualifier, athletes need to buy a groupticket via https://shop.crossfitholthem.be/collections/flanders-throwdown/products/flanders-throwdown
There is a no-refund policy for qualifiers and event tickets. We know we live in a Covid-19 phase. If the government or divers services decide that we cannot host the event or not in the way foreseen, we will move the finals or change the event. In case the event has to be cancelled, the tickets bought will be refunded minus the administration cost. Athletes not living in Belgium and not allowed to travel, will not get a refund.
