Our mission is to deliver an organized, fun, and spectator-friendly event that showcases the excitement of kettlebell sport to newcomers, sets up all lifters to perform at their best on a professional stage, and lets travelers lock in their weekend plans well in advance.
We are also proud to welcome Alistair Lee to the 2026 All American Kettlebell Open. Alastair serves as President of the English Kettlebell Association and is the developer of the BattleBell scoring and competition management system, which is becoming one of the most widely used platforms in kettlebell sport today. His contributions have helped modernize competition management, improve judging accuracy, and enhance the athlete experience at events and the viewer experience around the world. We are honored to have him join us as we continue our commitment to elevating the athlete experience and advancing the sport of kettlebell lifting.
