FAQs

What if I can’t do a particular movement?
No worries! Within your team or pair, choose movements that play to your strengths. The event is designed to be inclusive - everyone can take part at their own level. If the entire team/pair can not do a particular movement speak to one of us in advance and we will let you know what to do.

When will I find out the movement patterns?

The movement patterns will be released 6 weeks before the event, along with a photo guide. All movements are bodyweight-based, but don’t underestimate them - they’re designed to challenge and test your teamwork, strength, and endurance.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The event will only be cancelled if conditions are considered dangerous. Otherwise, we’ll run rain or shine, so be prepared for the elements!

Are there toilets available?

Yes - there are toilets in the building for all participants.

What if I’m ill or injured and can’t compete?

We don’t offer refunds, but you can transfer your spot to someone else at no extra cost.

Are spectators and children welcome?

Absolutely. Please let us know how many spectators to expect on the registration form. Please note: all minors must have adult supervision at all times.

Will there be refreshments?

Yes - there will be some refreshments available on site, but bring your own water and snacks to stay fuelled throughout the day. If you are a participant in Switch Up, you will have a set base for the entirety of the hybrid competition, so you can leave a drink/fuel at your spot on the grass, making sure not to impede on any other athletes space. Bags are not permitted in the Switch Up areas.

Is there a bag drop?

Yes - but this will be an unmanned area. Belongings are left at your own risk.
