Our story

Built in Canberra. Made for everyone.

What started as a local strongman comp in a borrowed warehouse is now Australia's most-anticipated fitness weekend.

Mission

Make elite sport feel like a hometown event.

We believe the best fitness experiences sit at the intersection of world-class production and grassroots warmth. CBR is where a national champion warms up next to a first-time competitor — and both get the same roar from the crowd.

Vision

Australia's premier multi-sport weekend by 2030.

01

Athletes first

Every decision filtered through what makes the competition fairer, safer, and more memorable.

02

Audience always

World-class production design so a $40 ticket feels like $400 anywhere else.

03

Local roots

Built in Canberra, run by Canberrans, with profits reinvested into ACT fitness programs.

Why Canberra

The perfect host city.

Canberra punches above its weight. Australia has no wealthier capital by median income, no more active population according to AusPlay, and few cities where a major convention venue sits just minutes from the airport. It's a city built for events — and we make sure every visitor feels that.
