The World Fitness Project (WFP) is set to energize the fitness community at Tour Event 1 with an exciting new announcement that introduces financial incentives for competitors in the Challenger division.

Challenger Division Payout Announcement
nn
Previously, prize money was exclusive to the Pro division, which included 20 Pro card athletes and 10 additional qualifiers from the online qualifier, leaving the Challenger division without rewards. However, in a recent press release, the WFP announced that the top five finishers in the Challenger division will each receive a $1,000 prize. This change marks a significant evolution in the event’s format and acknowledges the dedication of these athletes.

Incentives for Competitors

Jackson Terry, the Director of Operations for WFP, expressed enthusiasm for this change, stating, We are extremely excited to introduce this payout for the Challenger Division. We appreciate the commitment those athletes demonstrated during the Online qualifier, and it felt right to reward them even more for their efforts in Indianapolis. This decision was likely influenced by feedback from prospective athletes considering withdrawing their participation due to the absence of financial incentives.
