What Is NCC
A Division
For Everyone.

The NorCal Classic is a 3-day, all-outdoor event built on the principles that made CrossFit great: gritty tests, community energy, and no shortcuts. Headlined by an Elite field competing for CrossFit Games qualification, NCC also offers divisions for every age and skill level — because the real win is showing up and competing.

It all starts with the Online Qualifier — 17 days where athletes across all divisions complete programmed workouts from their home gym and submit scores for validation. Top finishers earn their invite to Discovery Park.

Where We Compete
