Bloem Battle Ground : Functional Fitness Series (24 September 2026)
Bloem Battle Ground is a hybrid functional fitness event taking place on 24 September 2026 at President Brand Primary School in Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa. The series combines functional strength tasks with cardiovascular running, structured as ten strength disciplines with roughly 500 m of running between each discipline.
The strength disciplines emphasize exercises that predominantly require strength rather than technical skill and do not have complicated movement standards or require prior technical training. Examples of possible disciplines include tyre flips, farmers carry, sand bag carry, net crawl, bear crawl, lunges, tyre pull, burpees, concrete disc pulls and atlas carry. The running segments may be flat or trail running depending on the event facility.
Events are offered for solo competitors and for teams of two. A team may be male/male, female/female or mixed; team members share completion of the disciplines but both must run each lap. Team members are not allowed to assist each other; assistance results in disqualification, though disqualified participants may continue to complete the course.
Athletes start in waves with a 10–15 minute delay between waves and are timed individually by bib number. A points system across the series awards points by finishing position, with podium medals for individual races and prize money eligibility for series winners and qualifying categories. Entry implies acceptance of the event indemnity and terms and conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
