Fitness challenges over the next 12 months
A few of us have been quietly joining some events over the last year, from Hyrox to wine tasting through vineyards on a 10km run. There are events out there for all of us and when we get a group of members doing them together they are great fun, full of support and friendship. These events offer just enough of a challenge, and a tiny degree of fear; to get out and train hard. We have cherry picked some fun events spread across the year that you can get involved in.
If you have any other events you’d like to share please let us know and we will share them with our outdoor fitness community – it’s so much more fun with friends!
