WHAT’S THE CF CIRCUS SIDESHOW, YOU ASK?

AN EVENT LIKE NEVER-BEFORE. A SMALL SPIN-OFF OF OUR LARGER CF CIRCUS, IOWAS PREMIER FITNESS EVENTS SINCE 2013.


We can't help ourselves.  So allow us to present The CF Circus, Summer Sideshow.  Forget the 2-day, fast moving, heavy breathing wildness of our winter event. Let’s slow it down for one day in this sweltering heat, and focus on strength. Suns out, guns out. 

First, a little history…The CF Circus by CrossFit 8035 has hosted Iowa's premier functional fitness competitions since 2013, providing an opportunity for athletes of all ages and abilities to experience the highest quality, and most fun competition and camaraderie. Over the years, our team format has varied from 2-4 athletes, same-gender and coed, but our kickass programming and participation numbers have never wavered. The CF Circus brings in over 500 athletes annually, nearly 2000 spectators, and a ton of great vendors and sponsors. Our summer events are more intimate, but equally as badass. Between our annual winter CF Circus, and a few fun summer events, this Summer Sideshow will be our 12th major competitive event. To date, we’ve given out over $80,000 in cash, prize packages totaling a value over $100,000, and even our volunteers have walked away with great raffle items and giveaways.

Now, what’s this Summer Sideshow business all about…it’s all about strength and size. A single day, committed to same-sex pair strength, stacking teams up against other comparable combined weight classes and age groups. More details in the athlete section!
