Engine Race - Extraction Point
Engine Race - Extraction Point is a team navigation and functional-fitness challenge for teams of four held at Fitness Blueprint near Unit 3 Goodchild Parkway, Sir Henry Lee Crescent, Aylesbury, HP18 0PE. Teams surrender phones, watches, maps, money and other navigation aids, are transported blindfolded to an undisclosed drop location, and begin when the blindfolds are removed.
The primary task is to navigate all four team members back to Fitness Blueprint on foot only, without GPS, maps, outside transport, lifts, taxis, public transport or bicycles. Every athlete carries a live GPS safety tracker that the athlete cannot access. Once the full team crosses the extraction line, the team must complete a mystery ENGINE workout together; the official time stops only when all four members have returned and the final workout is complete.
Two extraction distances are offered:
- 5K Extraction, drop point about 5 km straight-line from Fitness Blueprint.
- 10K Extraction, drop point about 10 km straight-line from Fitness Blueprint.
Teams must consist of four athletes who remain together throughout the event. Entry is priced at £240 per team of four. Participants must be aged 18 or over on event day. The event takes place on public roads, pavements, footpaths and other publicly accessible areas. The event package includes blindfolded transport to the drop location, individual live GPS safety tracking, emergency support equipment, professional event safety provision, the mystery finish workout and an official team result with finisher recognition.
