Two partners. Seven runs. Seven stations.

Race Rules

Read together with the separate KloovX Movement Standards. These rules cover the race format, team requirements and penalty framework.

01

Race format

  • Complete a 700m run before each station, in the order below. Both partners complete all seven runs: 4.9km each, plus the final route to the finish.
  • After wall balls, both partners run up the stairs to the finish. The team time is recorded when the second partner crosses the finish line.
OrderStationTeam total
01Ski1,000m
02Single-dumbbell ground-to-overhead80 reps
03Burpee to 20kg plate60 reps
04Row1,000m
05Filled-bag farmer's carry200m
06Static sandbag lunges80 reps
07Wall balls100 reps
02

Working as a team

  • Station volumes are team totals. Partners may divide the work however they choose. Only one partner works at a time.
  • Both partners must arrive before station work begins and leave together once the station is complete.
  • On every run, the gap between partners must never exceed 20m.
03

Resting partner

  • At ski, dumbbell ground-to-overhead, burpees, row, lunges and wall balls, wait behind the working partner in the designated waiting area. Leave that area only to change over.
  • During the farmer's carry, walk behind the carrying partner. Partners may swap whenever they choose.
  • Do not help the working partner with equipment while waiting. At ski and row this includes handles, damper settings and rower straps.
  • At mixed-team lunges, the resting partner keeps their own sandbag on their shoulders once it has been brought into use. Holding it while waiting does not count as working.
04

Prescribed loads

StationMenWomenMixed teams
Single DB G2OH20kg10kgEach uses own prescribed load
Farmer's carry2 × 24kg2 × 16kgBoth partners use 2 × 24kg
Sandbag lunges20kg10kgEach uses own prescribed load
Wall balls14lb / 3.0m10lb / 2.7mEach uses own ball and target

Farmer's carry weights are per filled bag, with one bag carried in each hand. The burpee plate weighs 20kg for all divisions.

05

Completion and judging

  • Complete every prescribed metre and valid repetition. Follow the judge's count and instructions before moving on.
  • A no-rep does not count towards the total and must be repeated correctly. Penalties do not replace unfinished work.
  • Time penalties are added to the team's recorded finish time. Disqualification decisions rest with the Race Director.
06

Penalties

More than 20m between partners on a run

+1 minute per recorded separation breach. A fourth separation penalty removes the team from official rankings.

Ski or row movement / waiting-area breach

One warning per team at that station; +15 seconds for each further infringement.

Invalid DB G2OH, burpee, lunge or wall-ball rep

No-rep. Repeat correctly; no warning needed.

Resting partner outside waiting area at a rep-based station

Reps do not count for the duration of the breach.

Lunge sandbag touches the ground after being brought into use

+15 seconds each time, including during rests or changeovers. Applies to either mixed-team bag.

Carry or lunge equipment not returned to its designated area

+30 seconds unless corrected before leaving the station area.

Incorrect load used for carry or lunges

Repeat the entire station with the correct load; otherwise disqualification.

Missed run, missed station or station left incomplete

Disqualification.

Station completed out of sequence

+3 minutes for one out-of-order station; disqualification for more than one.

Officials

Record the team, station or run, infringement and penalty. Warnings at ski and row belong to the team, not to each partner separately.
