Organiser's Description
X Race is our ‘outdoor fitness racing series’; a slick combination of mixed-terrain running, rucking & functional fitness.
After the success of X Race: Blaise Castle (pictured in images), we’re stepping things up a gear and hitting the beach! This may be new terrain for an X Race course but the objective remains the same – complete the course as quickly as possible!
Competitors will take on a uniquely designed route for this location that will test their beach running & rucking skills as well as requiring them to complete 12+ functional fitness challenges along the way, each packed with some seriously cool unconventional equipment!
As always, all the routes, fitness challenges & entry categories are carefully designed to ensure that newcomers can participate in the events alongside more experienced fitness racing athletes. Plus, with 3 distances to choose from, there’s something for everyone at X Race.
Take part individually or with friends, in our competitive heats or just for fun – the choice is yours!
Secure your spot to this truly unique event TODAY.
