TURF ENGINE
Following its success at our sold out events in London since 2021 – we can’t wait for our Middle East community to test themselves in this concept. Turf Engine is an endurance race featuring all the machines we love - ski, row, bike + running - mixed with a few movements with equipment like dumbbells, box jumps/step overs, sandbags and burpees - ultimately testing your ENGINE! It's not about how strong you are, it's about how you can work together and how fast can you move. The workout will be between 45 and 65 minutes long - depending on your fitness level!
This will be a pairs event with divisions of
- Male
- Female
- Mixed
WORKOUT
The workout will go live in October so keep an eye out.
HOW FAST CAN YOU GO?

This event is about pacing - you come out of the gates too 'hot' and you will be in the hurt locker quite soon. You have plenty of time to train leading into the event - find a pace that you can hold comfortably for a distance and stick to your plan.
