The Costa Blanca Games brought pairs to Alicante on 26 September for a full day of functional fitness competition, with scaled, intermediate and RX divisions designed to welcome different levels of experience.

Organiser CrossFit Costa Blanca built the event around shared effort and varied tests. The programme combined heavy tyre work and kettlebell movements with a pool station that challenged coordination as much as raw power.

A competition shaped by variety

The changing stations forced competitors to adjust quickly between strength, conditioning and water-based tasks. Across the field, partners shared the workload while spectators followed the action at close range.
