More than just a fitness comp!
WODON3 is back at Emirates Dubai 7s for the fourth year, and this year the comp has had a revamp!
Taking place across November 28-30 at The Sevens Stadium on Pitch 3, “WOD-ON-3” is a fitness comp built for all levels, from seasoned competitors to everyday athletes who want to throw down with their crew over a full weekend of workouts and good times.
What sets WODON3 apart?
The action happens right in the middle of the Dubai 7s festival site, surrounded by the energy of rugby, netball, cricket, live music, and crowds. Our unique setup that brings serious atmosphere while you’re in the middle of a workout!
This competition was born from the natural crossover between CrossFit-style training and the high-intensity sports already at Dubai 7s. It’s a chance to compete, challenge yourself, and be part of something bigger than just another Dubai fitness comp.
In classic Dubai 7s style, WODON3 is all about solid team effort, pushing your limits, and soaking up the festival vibes in between workouts!
And don’t forget, WODON3 team entry also gives you free access to the entry to the Dubai 7s legendary music stages with headliner acts across all 3 nights!
A brand new division at WODON3 - "SUPER SOCIAL"!
Super Social: Fitness meets festival!

Our brand new division, Super Social, is our accessible division yet! Created for those who getting themselves to the gym, but aren’t looking for elite-level competition.
