Race Types

  • SOLO RACE

    The Solo Race involves running the entire event as an individual.

    The race has no time limit. However, each Labour (exercise) must be completed in the right order, and athletes cannot move on until the Labour is completed.

  • PAIRS RACE

    The Pairs Race involves running the event in teams of two.

    Both athletes run every 400m Journey together and are involved in completing each Labour. However, they can split each Labour down between them in any way they see fit.

    Athletes can be same-sex or mixed - mixed teams use the male weights (and female-only teams use the female weights). Athletes can be any age combination (above 18).

  • RELAY RACE

    The Relay Race involves running the event in teams of four.

    Each athlete runs 1 x Journey and 1x Labour before the next team member goes. Therefore, each athlete completes 3 x Journeys and 3 x Labours to complete the race - athletes can choose which Labours they complete, but they must complete the race in the correct order.

    Athletes can be same-sex or mixed (2x male + 2x female)—they use the relevant weights for their sex. They can be any age combination (above 18).
