This unique festival is designed to foster community and connection through inclusive workouts and friendly competition. On Saturday, participants take on the Men's & Mixed Divisions challenge, featuring a series of workout stations combined with running segments. Athletes will face challenges like sled pushes, ski ergs, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer’s carries, sandbag lunges, and wall balls, all while navigating between stations in either full or half simulation formats. Sunday is dedicated to the Women's Race Day, a high-energy event built specifically for female athletes.

The course layout encourages supporters to cheer from start to finish, adding to the festival-like vibe complete with music, food vendors, and recovery zones. Each division offers its own set of weights and challenges, ensuring a tailored experience for men, women, and mixed teams alike. At the end of each day, athletes are greeted by a premium finish line experience featuring professional chip timing, judged workout stations, and spot prizes.

About Hastings
Learn more about the host city, Hastings.
Hastings is a city in Hawke's Bay, on the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of two cities in Hawke's Bay, the other being nearby Napier. It was heavily damaged in the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake, but because there were no fires much of it survived and is still visible in the city's downtown architecture. This contributed to the damage it did suffer makes Hastings the 'jewel' in the crown of the 'Napier' earthquake. This is mixed with Art Deco. Hastings has in the past been known as being an unattractive place to visit, but with the council's push for central business district redevelopment the city is returning to its previous splendour. It is the food-producing capital of New Zealand and has many different types of food. Its cuisine is unrivalled anywhere else. It also receives 2200 hours of sunshine a year, making it one of the sunniest places in New Zealand.
