Your first fitness race
A fitness race
for beginners
Start with the Deadly Sprint: the Deadly Dozen cut in half - twelve 200m runs, half the reps, the same weights. The name is the distance, not the pace: jog it, run it or sprint it.
START HERE
Three easy
ways in
- The Deadly Sprint: half the distance and half the reps of the Deadly Dozen, at your own pace. Most people's first race, and the way into the Dozen.
- Share the work: race as a pair and split the exercises however you like, or as a relay team taking turns, one run and one exercise at a time.
- No running: most gym races swap the runs for a rower, ski erg or bike, inside affiliated gyms. See fitness races without running.
Who can enter?
Anyone aged 18 or over on race day. First-timers are welcome, and nobody expects you to sprint: the clock simply records your time on the global leaderboard, next to everyone who raced the same format.
