We're running it back. A fast-paced calisthenics competition where any level athlete can step up and compete.
October 10, 2026 · 220 S Linden Ave, South San Francisco · Early bird $50 through July
After the success of Volume V, we're bringing the community together again for another fast-paced calisthenics competition where any level athlete can step up and compete.
Same format as last time, with a few updated movements in the Advanced and Elite divisions to keep the challenge fresh.
Beginner and Intermediate divisions stay exactly the same. So if you've been training, or you've just been thinking about trying your first event, this is your shot.
Two ways to take part. The difference is whether you're being scored, and whether there's anything for you to pick.
Think about a 5K. Most people who sign up for one aren't trying to beat anybody. They sign up because they said they'd do it, then they show up and do it.
The Open Run works the same way. You're not scored and you're not ranked. You set the goal, you go get it, and nobody's numbers matter but yours.
There's nothing to choose, either. The Open Run is the Beginner stations, and only the Beginner stations. Everybody in it does that same workout and gets whatever reps they get. Five or fifty, it's the same run.
For the athletes who came to race. Every rep is judged and scored against everyone else in your division.
This is where divisions come in. Pick the one that matches where you're at, Beginner through Elite, and that's who you're up against.
Same movements, different standards as you move up. Pick a division to see exactly what you'll face and how every rep is judged.
The Beginner Division is for athletes new to calisthenics or still building strength. Assistance bands are used where appropriate, so everyone experiences the full competition while being challenged at their own level. Five stations, same order, with a 1:30 rest between each.
The Intermediate Division runs the exact same format as Beginner, but every movement is performed without assistance bands. Athletes should already have a solid foundation of bodyweight strength and control. Five stations, same order, with a 1:30 rest between each.
The Advanced Division is for experienced athletes ready to test their strength under added resistance. Every upper-body lift is loaded, and so is the squat station: Women +10 lb, Men +25 lb. Same five stations, same order, with a 1:30 rest between each.
The Elite Division is built for the highest-level athletes. Pull-ups, push-ups and dips are all performed with +45 lb, while muscle-ups, pistol squats and burpees are bodyweight and judged on volume alone. Six stations, with a 1:30 rest between each.
Divisions only apply to the Competitive Run. The Open Run is always run at Beginner level, so there's nothing to sort out, you just show up and run those stations like everyone else in it.
Medals, podiums, and a room full of people losing their minds for each other. Volume VI picks up right here.
Early bird is $50 until the end of July. After that, entry goes to the standard $80.
It takes you straight to the Volume VI booking page. No digging through the schedule.
Open Run, or Competitive Run plus the division you want to be scored in.
Early bird locks in $50 while it lasts.
Whether you're competing for the first time or returning to test yourself again, this event is about bringing the community together and continuing to build the sport of calisthenics.
