Support the 2026 IKMF World Championships in Syracuse, NY
The 2026 IKMF World Kettlebell Championships will bring elite athletes from around the world to Syracuse for a multi-day international competition focused on athletic excellence, safety, and global participation.
​
This event marks a historic first: the IKMF World Championships will be hosted for the first time in the United States, North America, and the Western Hemisphere. Athletes, coaches, officials, and supporters from 25–35 countries will gather in Central New York for a truly international championship experience.
​
Organizations, businesses, and community leaders are invited to support the Championships through a range of opportunities designed to align contribution with visibility, impact, and participation in a first-of-its-kind global event hosted in Syracuse.
Two Ways to Support
Support for the 2026 IKMF World Championships is organized across three complementary levels, allowing organizations to participate in a way that aligns with their capacity, goals, and desired level of involvement.
​
Together, these opportunities form a unified fundraising campaign that supports event operations, international participation, and the successful delivery of a first-of-its-kind global championship hosted in Syracuse. ​​
