Bag storage

You may leave your sports bag at the designated bag storage area during the event.

The event organizers will implement necessary safety measures to monitor the storage area; however, use of the bag storage is at your own risk. The organizers are not responsible for any damage, loss, or theft of personal belongings.

Recommendations:

Use a securely closed sports bag and ensure it is properly sealed to prevent items from falling out.
Avoid leaving valuable items (such as smartphones, smartwatches, wallets, etc.) in your sports bag.

Am I fit enough for Fitrace?

We’re building a close-knit Fitrace Family where inclusivity comes first! Age, gender, and skill level don’t matter. However, we ask you to assess yourself before participating in Fitrace. It’s crucial for us that you can exercise safely!

Eager to take on the challenge but feeling a bit uncertain about your abilities? We recommend registering as a rookie in the doubles category. This way, you can share the load with another Fitracer. And training together is always more fun, right? Good luck with your preparation!

Can I bring my crew to cheer me on?

Absolutely! There’s nothing better than being cheered on from start to finish. For €10, your supporters can purchase a supporter ticket here and fully experience the unique Fitrace vibe.

Ski Erg	1000 m	Pull the cables down like you’re carving through snow. The harder you go, the faster you glide.
Burpee Broadjump	80 m	Drop into a burpee, then explode forward with a broad jump. Land soft, reset, and repeat. Go big on the jump to cut down on burpees.
