The Organizers: Passion and Professionalism
Sandro Sensi and Daniele Marini are the minds behind Aurelia Games. Sandro, Personal Trainer since 1997, with vast experience and certifications in the world of fitness, and Daniele, co-owner and coach of Aurelia CrossFit, share a common vision: to create an event that is not just a competition, but a real sports festival.
“Our mission is to make people feel good, offering a moment of union and sharing,” says Sandro.
A Growing Event: What's New in the Third Edition
This edition of the Aurelia Games presents many new features compared to previous years. One of the most significant is the introduction of a free equipped and supervised inflatable area for children. This initiative allows parents to participate in the race or enjoy the event without worrying about their children.
Furthermore, the competition field has been expanded to over 400 mXNUMX, a significant increase compared to last year's 300 mXNUMX, offering more space and comfort to athletes.
This year, they will also be present cash prizes for all categories (except for Beginners), and an absolute novelty in the Italian panorama: the Master 60 Man category, which will see the participation of over 12 athletes.
Location and Atmosphere: The Heart of the Aurelia Games
The Le Palme Sporting Club, with its history and charm, offers the perfect setting for the Aurelia Games. The competition will take place on a single floor of 14 lanes, with an adjacent warm-up area of over 250 mXNUMX.
Athletes will enjoy lunch and access to the intra workout pool, included in the live package.
“The real point of force of our event is the air you breathe: a two-day race focused only on the athlete, who is placed at the center of the event", underlines Marini.
The Heart of the Competition: Workouts and Tests
Sandro Sensi is the mastermind behind the Aurelia Games 2024 workouts. The competition will maintain the format of last edition: three workouts for all participants, followed by a fourth final event to which the top seven in each category will access.
This fourth event will be a ssurprise that could completely overturn the final ranking, keeping the suspense high until the end.
Aurelia Games stands out for its old school approach to CrossFit, avoiding excessive evolutions and maintaining a focus on the fundamental exercises and the different energy domains. This approach makes competition accessible and challenging for all levels of athletes.
Inclusivity and Innovation: The Beginner Master 30+ Category
One of the special features of this year will be the Beginner Master 30+ category, introduced to respond to the growing demand for participation from novice athletes who, despite starting late, wish to test themselves.
“It was Daniele's intuition, immediately supported by me, and it had great success, so much so that it was also taken up by other competitions,” says Sandro.
An Athlete-Friendly Event
Aurelia Games yes differs in its attention to the athlete. Sandro, with over a decade of competition experience as both an athlete and coach, has noticed that many events lose sight of the importance of athlete centrality, focusing on economic gains and numbers.
“Here we breathe a different atmosphere: for us, Aurelia Games is a party, a way to be together, on a competition field where everyone, athletes, judges and volunteers, have fun in serenity and carefreeness”, says Sandro.

As for workouts, Sandro is very reserved and doesn't like to reveal details in advance. Not even Daniele knows the details of the workouts, which are jealously guarded in a red notebook.
However, we can anticipate that they will be in full old school CrossFit style, touching on all energy domains and metabolisms. This will ensure that nothing is decided until the last moment, keeping the competition exciting and unpredictable.
