The mission of Boxtoberfest is to motivate athletes of all ability levels to perform at their personal best. There are three different divisions from which athletes choose: the Firebreather division is for elite-level individual athletes; the Rx division is for same-sex teams of two athletes; and the Open division allows teams of any two people to participate in a non-competitive format. There is also a category within the Rx division for masters athletes, 40 years of age and older.
