Bloem Battle Ground
Bloem Battle Ground is a hybrid fitness series combining functional strength and cardiovascular endurance. The series comprises five events on these dates: 14 March 2026, 16 May 2026, 18 July 2026, 24 September 2026, and the final on 7 November 2026. Events take place at Geel Klip, Middelwater Plaas, R30 Brandfort Road, Glen, Bloemfontein, Free State, South Africa.
Each event consists of ten strength disciplines with roughly 500 m of running between each discipline. Strength disciplines are practical, strength-focused exercises 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 on flat or trail terrain depending on the facility. Disciplines do not require complicated technical movements or prior technical training.
Participants receive points after each event according to finishing rank. To qualify for the overall series podium an athlete must complete four of the five races. There are podium medals for individual races and series trophies or prizes for series winners. Athletes are timed individually and started in waves with a 10 to 15 minute delay between waves. Team entries consist of two participants who complete the course collectively while following team rules; assisting a teammate leads to disqualification from podium eligibility though the team may finish the event.
