Women Xpanding Limits Fitness Festival
Women Xpanding Limits is a women’s fitness and wellness festival created to bring women together, challenge them to step outside their comfort zones, and show themselves what they are capable of.
On October 24, 2026, women of all ages and fitness levels will gather in Columbus, Ohio for a full day of movement, community, and purpose. Participants can choose from the Women’s 1-Miler, 5K, HYROX PFT, Push-Pull Lifting Meet, or combined fitness challenges.
You don’t have to consider yourself an athlete to belong here. Walk your first mile, run or ruck the 5K, take on a new fitness challenge, or simply step outside your comfort zone alongside a community of women doing the same. All ages and fitness levels are welcome.
Through our For the One initiative, Women Xpanding Limits is proud to benefit Susan G. Komen and support women impacted by breast cancer.
Want to join us? Register for the Women’s 1-Miler or 5K, Women’s Lifting Meet, or HYROX PFT and move alongside women who are pushing their limits for a purpose.
Are you a breast cancer survivor? Through our Sponsor a Survivor initiative, breast cancer survivors can participate at no cost in the 1-Miler, 5K, HYROX PFT, or Push-Pull Lifting Meet. Apply to join us as a Survivor Athlete and let our community celebrate and support you.
The experience goes far beyond the competitions. The day will also include vendors, wellness experiences, community activities, breast cancer awareness and support opportunities, and an evening fall festival with live music and more. Friends and family are encouraged to come cheer, connect, explore the festival, and celebrate the women participating.
Whether your challenge is walking your first mile, crossing a 5K finish line, stepping onto a lifting platform, or simply showing up for something new, there is a place for you at Women Xpanding Limits.
Come move with us, celebrate strength in every season, and help us push our limits for a purpose.
