The Under Armour Turf Games is coming to Scotland for the first time!
EDINBURGH CITY SERIES
We are excited to be hosting our first event in Scotland at the Scottish National Performance Centre for Sport - Oriam.
We will be bringing all the buzz and excitement of the Turf Games for the weekend - big atmosphere, great community and the perfect amphitheater to test your fitness and have fun with your friends.
The competition will take place on Saturday 2nd October, 9am until 6pm and will be a Mixed Team event - 5 athletes.
Teams will be comprised of 3 males and 2 females (ideally), or can be 3 females and 2 males.
There will be two divisions -
- OPEN - for the more serious competitor and team who want to express their athleticism against the best and win a place on the TURF at our Dubai event on November 4/5th.
- EVERYDAY - for those who want to be involved but want slightly less intensity than the OPEN division - the Everday category is for you
WORKOUTS
Teams will compete in a series of 4 workouts over the day. The workouts will be programmed in such a way that tactics will prevail over all else - how well does your team work together to communicate and execute the workout? The top 4 teams in the ELITE division will qualify for the winner takes all final to be crowned the Edinburgh City Series CHAMPS. The winner at the end of the 4 workouts of the EVERYDAY category will be crowned winners of that division.
ENTRY
Team entry will open on the 15th of July. The cost for a team of 5 will be £330.
