Fleet Feet Run Club hosts a longer-distance outing from Mercado on Fifth Community Center, following the downtown Moline riverfront.

CrossFit Millstone hosts a TFX Throwdown in partnership with The Fittest Experience. Teams consist of three athletes of the same gender, with divisions for RX, Intermediate, Masters, Rookie, and Community. A kids component offers individual divisions for under 8, 8 to 10, and 11 to 12, and the kids competition does not serve as a qualifier for the Kids TFX Championship. Every team completes three events. Early bird entry is 225 dollars per team, with a price increase afterward, and all sales are final. Results from 27 host throwdowns feed a single global leaderboard. Based on those standings, the top 15 teams from RX, Intermediate, and Rookie and the top 10 teams from Masters and Community receive automatic invitations to The Fittest Experience, bypassing the online qualifier, and the leaderboard remains hidden until all throwdowns conclude. This is not the only path to compete at The Fittest Experience, since teams and individuals may also enter the separate online qualifier if they prefer or if they do not earn an invite. Division guidelines help athletes choose the right fit. Community athletes typically work with a clean and jerk around 95 and 65 pounds and a snatch around 75 and 55 pounds, with movements such as jumping pull ups, hanging knee raises, scaled wall walks, and single unders. Rookie athletes should be ready for a clean and jerk around 135 and 95 pounds and a snatch around 95 and 65 pounds, plus pull ups, toes to bar, wall walks, and double unders. Intermediate athletes see clean and jerks near 185 and 125 pounds and snatches near 135 and 95 pounds, together with chest to bar pull ups, toes to bar, handstand push ups, and double unders. RX athletes prepare for clean and jerks near 225 and 155 pounds and snatches near 185 and 125 pounds, as well as muscle ups, toes to bar, pistols, handstand walks, strict handstand push ups, and double unders. Masters teams are defined by a combined team age of at least 120 years with all athletes 35 or older and follow standards close to Intermediate, including snatches around 135 and 95 pounds, clean and jerks around 185 and 125 pounds, and skills such as chest to bar pull ups, rope climbs, toes to bar, handstand push ups, and double unders.
