More thanarace.
VORTEX is hybrid racing: running plus functional fitness stations, against one clock. Scaled so first-timers finish and athletes can push for the podium.
The Sprint is a shorter, all-out first step. The full race is the complete test. Pick yours.
Doubles, Relay teams of 4 and Kid + Parent: share the work and cross the line together.
Kids race the same format, sized for their age group, with loads at their level.
Proper stations, timing and results, and an atmosphere built for race day.

From what age can I race?
Kids race from age 8 in their own age groups. Adults race from 16.
Are prices per person or per team?
Team tickets (Doubles, Relay, Kid + Parent) are priced per team. All prices include VAT; an admin fee is added at checkout.
