The Annual Arnold Sports Festival, the world’s largest multi-sport fitness weekend, will feature 38 events including 12 Olympic sports. More than 17,000 athletes will compete. The event celebrates the Arnold Classic, the professional bodybuilding competition that launched the extravaganza for sports and fitness enthusiasts.

Every year brings new events. The Arnold Amateur IFBB International Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championships, the Arnold Cycling Challenge, the USA Powerlifting Championships, and USA Weightlifting’s Olympic Team Qualifying Event were added in 2008.
