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 festival.

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 festival 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: highest median income per capita in Australia, the country's most active population by AusPlay data, and a 7,000-seat exhibition centre minutes from the airport. The city is built for events — and we make sure every visitor feels that.
