Can you Beat the Race?

SOLO RACE:

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

There is no time limit on the race. 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 (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 1x Journey and 1x Labour before the next team member goes. Therefore, each athlete completes 3x Journeys and 3x Labours to complete the race - athletes must stick to their order, i.e., Athlete A does Labour 1, 5 & 9.

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