Challenge Yourself By Entering A Fitness Event!

Has your fitness hit a plateau? Sounds like you need a challenge! Thanks to the recent boom in mass participation events, there’s something out there to suit everyone, whatever fitness level you’re at or style of challenge you’re looking for.

And we’re taking on bigger and bolder feats all the time. Take marathon running for example. It has increased by almost 15 per cent since 2009, according to research from RunRepeat.com, with women’s participation growing by over 25 per cent. Whether you want to smash some goals in 2016, or just need the motivation to get fit, here are the best events and fun challenges we’ve found. Go on, join the masses! 

TEST YOUR STAMINA

Want to find out just how fit you really are? Judgment Day events cover all bases when it comes to testing your metal, with three races to choose from. In the obstacle races, the course is kept under wraps until the day of the event, delivering plenty of surprises. Sign up for the trail run event and you’ll be rewarded with rugged scenery and spectacular views. Expect a mix of well-travelled and challenging trails, with plenty of steep ascents and a few surprises thrown in. And lastly ‘The Unknown’ is a 36-hour endurance event to test even the most ardent fitness lover! Events are throughout the year and prices start from £25. Head to judgement-day.co.uk for more information.
