The Original Deadly Dozen Track Race

The race that started it all. 12 Runs. 12 Labours. Endless challenge.

Choose Your Race Format

Deadly Dozen began as the world’s first fitness racing Track Race in Macclesfield.
What started as a single event has grown into a global movement — now raced across multiple countries with the same accessible, universal and scalable format that defined the original.

At its core, the Track Race is simple:
12 x 400m Runs + 12 x Labours
A format anyone can take on — but few can master.

Race it your way:
Solo – The ultimate individual test.
Pairs – Share the Labours and push together.
Relay – Teams of four, one Labour per rotation.

Track Variations

The entire Deadly Dozen Track Race was completed while wearing a weighted rucksack. It is a more demanding, tougher endurance test for athletes seeking an increased level of challenge. (10 kg Male/6 kg Female)
A fast, brutal mile-long challenge: 400m Lunges + 400m Burpee Broad Jumps + 400m Bear Crawl + 400m Run. Not the whole Track Race — but every bit as demanding.
A scaled version of the Track Race for 12–15-year-olds, featuring all 12 runs and 12 Labours at reduced volume and weight. Guardians must be present.
