Amérique du Nord (1)
It is built as a festival rather than a closed championship, and it is one of the few events on the calendar where an open-entry field and an elite field share a site on the same weekend. The adaptive division is the part worth calling out: Wodapalooza has run adaptive categories longer and more seriously than most events in the sport, and they are a full part of the competition rather than an exhibition.
Divisions run across a range of abilities, so this is one of the few events where an elite field and a scaled amateur field are on the same site on the same weekend. Registration is open entry for most divisions rather than qualification-gated.
January in Miami is the other half of the appeal. It is a reliable escape from a northern winter, and accommodation prices reflect that.
Registration opens well ahead of the January date and the popular divisions close early, so this is not an event to decide on in December.

Not for most divisions. It is open entry rather than qualification-gated, which is why an elite field and a scaled amateur field end up on the same site on the same weekend.
What divisions does Wodapalooza run?
Five: individual, team, masters, teen and adaptive. The adaptive division is a full part of the competition rather than an exhibition, and has been run longer and more seriously here than at most events.
When does registration open?
Well ahead of the January date, and the popular divisions close early. This is not an event to decide on in December.
