TURF ENGINE
Following its success at our sold out events in London since 2021 – we can’t wait for our down under 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, dballs, burpee broad jumps and more - 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
EXAMPLE WORKOUT
See below an example of the workout you will be taking on. The exact workout will be released in August and will be very similar to the below -
Weight Guidance
- Dumbbell - Males will use a single 20kg DB and females will use a single 12.5kg dumbbell.
- Dball - Males will use a 40kg and females will use a 20kg dball
It will be one athlete working at a time on the dumbbell and dballs as well as the ergs. Both athletes must complete the run together.
HOW FAST CAN YOU GO?

This event is perfect for everyone - no matter what your fitness background, OCR, running, functional fitness, its is low skill and simply comes down to your... ENGINE. We want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy, compete and be part of the Turf Games community.
Your heat time will be provided to you up to 3 weeks before the event. Your ENGINE ticket gives you access to the Summer Festival all weekend to enjoy watching other athletes compete and take in the atmosphere.
Across the weekend we will have the following age categories -
PAIRS
Turf Engine will be a pairs event. The below age categories is an average age - you would add each athletes age together and divide by 2 to give your pair's age bracket (i.e. 40 y/o + 34 y/o = 37 so 35+ category)
- 16-34 years
- 35+
All athletes in the above Pairs categories will compete in the same workout, however, athletes will be positioned on their relevant age based leaderboard. There will be options of
- Male pairs
- Female pairs
- Mixed pairs
PRIZES
The winning pair in each category will win a partner prize pack from Turf and our partner brands. The fastest pair in the male pairs, female pairs and mixed pairs divisions will win $500 cash.
COST
- Per pair - $190
Your ticket cost also includes spectator entry to both days of the festival.
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.
