Wodapalooza will reveal Open Workout 26.3 live in Miami Beach

Wodapalooza has locked the CrossFit Open reveal into its Miami Beach festival, announcing that Open Workout 26.3 will be unveiled live on Thursday, March 12 during Gymreapers Wodapalooza Miami Beach, which runs March 12–15, 2026. The move brings the final Open workout and its global reveal into a festival setting where elite athletes and community participants converge.

Athletes and fans attending the festival will be able to watch the live reveal and then attempt the workout on-site, with the option to submit an official Open score. That combination of live announcement, onsite performance, and official scoring gives competitors a rare chance to register Open results in the same electric environment typically reserved for sanctioned events and main-stage heats.

For the community this is both practical and strategic. Competing in Miami lets athletes chase an official Open mark with a crowd, louder judging, and more spectator energy than a garage or local box can usually offer. For weekend travelers and box teams, the schedule centers the reveal on Thursday, so plan travel and registration to arrive in time for the announcement and warm-up lanes. Organizers say further schedule details and how to participate will be released later, so expect heat assignments, judge availability, and submission procedures to follow.

The announcement underlines Wodapalooza’s intent to blend competition and festival elements. Expect the production that accompanies a live reveal: stage setup, a spectator-friendly layout, high-level athletes jumping into the picture, and side events that keep non-competing friends and family engaged. For affiliate owners and coaches, this can be a chance to scout programming cues, test Open strategy in a pressure environment, and foster team camaraderie around a single, shared workout moment.

If you plan to chase an onsite official score, allow time to confirm the event’s participation rules once Wodapalooza publishes them, and coordinate with your home box on judge certification and video requirements if you intend to log your result later. Booking early will help with accommodations and travel during a busy Miami weekend.

This announcement turns the Open finale into a destination experience: expect a mix of competitive urgency and festival atmosphere on Miami Beach. Watch for the detailed schedule and participation instructions from Wodapalooza, and if you want to be part of the reveal, plan to be on the sand for the Thursday announcement and ready to hit the workout when it drops.
