TRAINING
X Race is a unique experience in just how trainable we make it. We pre-release the route, challenges and weights month in advance so you know what to expect on the day.
We always choose low-skill yet challenging movements, and ensure they are all trainable in pretty much all gym environments - no fancy equipment needed.
Put simply X Race: Blaise Castle is an event that anyone can enter, accessible and trainable by anyone willing to work hard!
It's highly trainable
To help you prepare you can find a free 8-week training plan here that was put together for last year's X Race: Blaise Castle.
We also have a Superhuman Affiliate Programme, where you can find a fitness facilty that provides our event styles of training. But remember, we always pick movements trainable in pretty much any gym!
It's never too late to start. Choose your race, set your goals, and start your journey today. You'll thank us at the finish line (maybe).
