Cortical Grind
Cortical Grind is a local outdoor HYROX simulation event presented by CrossFit Cortland and CrossFit Vertical on September 7, 2026, at CrossFit Cortland and CFC Nutrition in Cortland, New York. The event uses an outdoor course and begins inside CrossFit Cortland before athletes run down the street to the outdoor venue.
Participants complete eight HYROX-style stations with a 1,000-meter run between each station. The stations include SkiErg 1000 m, Sled Push 335/225, Sled Pull 227/172, Burpee Broad Jumps, Row 1000 m, Sandbag Lunges 44/22, Farmer’s Carry 53/35, and a finishing Wall Balls 14/10 back at CrossFit Cortland. In doubles divisions, men/men and men/women pairs use the men’s weights and women/women pairs use the women’s weights.
Divisions are Solo Men, Solo Women, and Doubles Teams. Prizes are awarded to first, second, and third place in the Solo Men, Solo Women, and Doubles divisions. Scaling options are available for athletes who do not use RX weights or movements; scaled divisions are not eligible for prize awards.
The event is held in person at 165 Main Street, Cortland, NY 13045. Additional practical information provided by the organizer includes free parking and a refund policy that allows refunds up to seven days before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
