Bloem Battle Ground 2026 - Fitness Summer Series
Bloem Battle Ground is a hybrid fitness series held at CBC sports grounds in Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa. The series comprises five events on scheduled dates across the year. Each event mixes functional strength disciplines with cardiovascular running.
The event format includes ten strength disciplines with roughly 500 m of running between each discipline. Strength tasks require predominantly strength and may include tyre flips, farmers carry, sand bag carry, net crawl, bear crawl, lunges, tyre pull, burpees, concrete disc pulls and atlas carry. Running sections may be flat or include trail terrain depending on the facility. Strength stations can be performed in any sequence; participants must run the set route between stations. An athlete is finished when all disciplines and the running sections are completed.
Categories include individual entries and teams of two participants. Teams must complete disciplines collectively; team members are not allowed to assist each other or they may be disqualified. Team membership may change during the series provided one original member remains; a category change resets series points to zero.
Each race awards podium medals and points toward the overall series. To qualify for the series podium a competitor must complete at least four of the five races. Points follow a sliding scale with first place awarded 100 points and subsequent places reduced by small increments. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
