The Coastal Qualifier powered by Victory Grips is the online qualifier for Fittest of the Coast.

The qualifier runs September 28 - October 24. There will be five workouts released over the four weeks. One workout will be a two-part workout with two scores. Workouts are released each Thursday at 7pm EST and scores must be submitted by the following Tuesday at 9pm EST.

In order to qualify for Fittest of the Coast, you must compete and earn a spot through the Coastal Qualifier. 

Athletes can compete in the qualifier as both an individual and two-person team, but most register under the individual AND team divisions. Athletes can earn a spot and compete as both an individual and a team at Fittest of the Coast if they choose. 

Teams do no need to complete workouts together. Team athletes will complete each qualifier workout as an individual and the team captain will submit both partners' scores. Team scores will be the sum of both partners' scores. For example, if the workout is Fran and Partner 1 completes the workout in 3:00, and Partner 2 completes the workout in 4:00, the team score will be 7:00.

The weekly qualifier workout will be the same for individual and team divisions. Each division will see a division-appropriate version of that week's workout.
