Kaizen Mountain Hybrid Race
The Kaizen Mountain Hybrid Race is a continuous individual time trial held at Seathwaite Farm Campsite in the Lake District. The event combines erg-based efforts, trail running, and a muscular endurance sandbag section, all operated from a central basecamp with athlete and spectator zones.
Core course components:
- 2 km Row (Concept2 ergs)
- 5 km Bike erg
- 5 km Trail run, approx 270 m elevation, up-and-back route
- 2 km Ski erg
- 50 sandbag reps over the shoulder (50 kg male, 30 kg female)
- 25 m sprint finish
Athletes move in a continuous loop between an erg zone and the trail, finishing with a short sprint through the finish line. The format is an individual time trial with head-to-head starts; races begin in waves every 20 minutes and day capacity is limited to 32 athletes. The sandbag section may be covered depending on weather; the erg zone is covered. Sandbag reps must be completed to avoid a one-minute penalty per incomplete rep.
Terrain on the 5 km run includes concrete, gravel path, loose stones and larger rocky trail. Equipment includes Concept2 ergs and CompeteForce strongman sandbags. On-site facilities include a recovery zone with muscle guns and foam rollers, showers (coins required), on-site parking for a fee, limited glamping, and a range of vendor partners and post-race provisions.
