Practical Explanation:

Beach Battle is a Hybrid Fitness Event which basically means that the event combines different fitness elements. In this case it is a combination between Strength and Running.

• 10 Strength Stations will be set up where you will be faced with a strength challenge. This can include but are not limited to – Tyre Flips, Tyre Pulls, Burpees, Crawls, Farmers Carries, Sand Bag Carries, Power Pulls etc.
• After you’ve completed a station you will do a 500m running loop.
• You will repeat this process until you’ve completed all 10 strength stations including a 500m run in-between each Strength Station

You will start with a 500m run and also end with a 500m run, which will end in a total 5.5km of running.

Timing

Athletes will be set off in waves with a 10-15min delay between each wave (you will be able to choose your wave on the next page on the entry system).

Elite Athletes will be timed individually according to their allocated BIB number (which should be visible at all times).

Penalties

If a participant is not able to fully complete any of the disciplines or running with the required movement standards without any assistance, the participant will be considered Disqualified.

The participant will however still be allowed to participate.

Event Conduct

• Beach Battle events are based on a first come first serve basis. If at any point an athlete wants to perform a station which is fully occupied, the athlete either have to choose another discipline to perform or wait until the station is not fully occupied

• If in an unlikely situation where an athlete approaches his/her final station/discipline and it is fully occupied, the athlete only has a choice to wait until the station is available again before completing the station. *Only in a situation like this will the time that the athlete had to wait be deducted from his overall time to compensate for the scenario

Categories:

• ELITE MALE / FEMALE – For the competitive athletes to battle it out for the podium
• FUN – For those keen for a good workout/challenge which is interesting and something different (and I mean it is on the beach, which is Epic!)
