Pacific Games Puerto Vallarta 2025 returns November 15–16, welcoming over 200 CrossFit competitors for two days of friendly contests and community building at the Agustin Flores Contreras Sports Complex.
Puerto Vallarta is set to host the eleventh edition of the Pacific Games on November 15–16, 2025, reaffirming its status as a premier destination for CrossFit enthusiasts. Since first launching in 2014, the Pacific Games have grown into one of Mexico’s largest and friendliest multi-discipline competitions. Organizers expect more than 200 athletes from across Mexico and abroad, all eager to measure their strength, endurance, and agility against peers in a community-focused setting.
Athletes will compete in disciplines ranging from classic track and field sprints to gymnastics routines, weightlifting challenges, and cardiovascular endurance tests. Swimming events will showcase speed and technique in the pool, while on land, competitors will tackle timed obstacle courses and traditional CrossFit workouts. Each category offers men’s and women’s divisions, ensuring an inclusive field where up-and-coming amateurs and veteran athletes alike can test their limits.
Over two days, networking and camaraderie will stand alongside competition. The Pacific Games emphasize a social atmosphere: between heats, participants can mingle during informal meet-ups, attend workshops led by top coaches, and share recovery tips. “We designed the Pacific Games to feel like a homecoming for the CrossFit community,” said the event director. “This is more than a contest—it’s a chance to connect, learn, and celebrate fitness culture together.”
The Agustin Flores Contreras Sports Complex will serve as the event’s hub. Equipped with a 25-meter pool, multiple weightlifting platforms, and a regulation track, the facility will be fully outfitted for top-level performance. Temporary stands will bring spectators close to the action, while onsite vendors will offer athlete services, from nutrition consultations to physiotherapy sessions. Organizers have worked with local authorities to ensure smooth traffic flow and ample parking for both competitors and fans.
Puerto Vallarta’s appeal extends far beyond the sports complex. Known for its sandy beaches, vibrant art scene, and culinary offerings, the city offers visiting athletes and their supporters plenty of ways to unwind. Evening social events will include beachfront gatherings, live music, and guided tours of the historic Zona Romántica. Hotels and resorts across the city are offering special Pacific Games packages, complete with recovery-focused amenities like massage and yoga classes.
Economic impact studies from previous editions indicate a notable boost for local businesses. Restaurants report up to a 30 percent increase in reservations, while retail shops see a surge in sportswear and souvenir sales. “We welcome the Pacific Games each year not only for the sport but also for the benefit it brings to our community,” said a representative of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board. “It’s a win-win: athletes get a world-class venue, and our city enjoys international exposure.”
Looking ahead, organizers plan to leverage this year’s success to expand the event further. Talks are underway to introduce adaptive sports divisions in 2026, broadening participation and reinforcing the Pacific Games’ commitment to inclusivity. Meanwhile, for 2025, athletes and fans alike can register online through the official Pacific Games Puerto Vallarta website starting June 1.
As November approaches, anticipation is building. With its blend of high-caliber competition, social engagement, and the natural beauty of Puerto Vallarta, the Pacific Games promise two days of memorable athletic achievement and community spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned CrossFitter, a casual fan, or a local resident, mark your calendars for November 15–16, 2025—to witness the return of one of Mexico’s standout sporting gatherings.
