Bloem Battle Ground : Functional fitness series event
The event is organised by Aktief Events in Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa, and takes place at President Brand Primary School in Bloemfontein. Entry options shown include a solo entry and a team entry with listed fees of R220.00 and R400.00 respectively.
Bloem Battle Ground is a hybrid fitness format combining functional strength work and cardiovascular endurance. The structure comprises ten strength disciplines with roughly 500 m of running between each discipline. Strength disciplines use predominantly strength-based movements and may include exercises such as 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 on flat or more trail-like ground depending on the venue.
Teams consist of two participants and may be same-sex or mixed; the disciplines and running should be completed collectively by the two team members. Team members may divide station work as they choose but both must do the running laps. Assistance between team members is not allowed and may lead to disqualification; disqualified participants may still continue the remainder of the event.
Athletes are released in timed waves with 10–15 minute intervals and are timed individually by BIB number. A points system is used across the series to rank competitors and determine overall series winners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
