ULTIMATE ATHLETE: THE TRACK

The fast one. Every station on the running track.

The Track is our fastest and most accessible race. The whole thing happens outdoors on an athletics track: three zones, nine stations and a 400m lap between every station. Most people finish in around 30 minutes. It’s the perfect first race, a great way to build towards The Hybrid, or a flat-out PB hunt if you’ve done this before.

THE COURSE

Zone 1: Endurance. Four 400m laps, with a 120m bear crawl, 50 goblet squats and a 120m plate overhead carry in between.

Zone 2: Strength. 60 wall ball sit-ups, then rounds of 10 kettlebell deadlifts and 10 dumbbell snatches. That’s 4 rounds solo, 8 for doubles and 12 for relay teams.

Zone 3: Conditioning. Four more 400m laps, with a 200m plate front carry, 80m walking lunges and 80m burpee broad jumps in between. Then you sprint the last lap to the finish.

Your clock runs from the start line to the finish line.

PICK YOUR CATEGORY

There’s one course and one standard for everyone, with no Everyday or Pro split. Race as a female, as a male, as a mixed pair, or as a relay team of three. Your category only changes the weights you lift.

Solo: one athlete, three zones.

Doubles: split the work with a partner and cross the line together.

Relay team of 3: three racers on one clock. You take turns through the Endurance and Conditioning stations, share the Strength zone, and all run the last lap of each zone together. The relay is only in The Track.

WHO IT’S FOR

It’s for anyone. All the kit is basic gym equipment, and the full weights for every category are on our website. If you can run 400m and you’ve done some strength training, you’re ready.

Finish the race. Earn your medal. Become an Ultimate Athlete.
