Octathalon | This CrossFit Sport Comes to Swindon

There is an Octathalon event taking place on the 28th April at the Next Generation gym in Swindon.

It is free to all members of the website with only a cost of £5 on the door payable to Next Generation.

There is racing for beginners to the Octathalon and beginners to fitness as well as for those who are extremely fit. We will aim to place people in races so that they will be competing against someone with a similar level of fitness.

You can enter either as an individual or in a team as there is team competition with either 4 women or 4 men in a team. Teams have to race over the Club course individually and then again later in pairs with all times to count toward a team total.

This event is being organised as a prelude to an Octathalon league that will be running in Swindon over the rest of the year for local teams so you will have several teams to compete against.

On the day we will also be running events over several different Octathalon courses and you can choose which ones you would like to enter. It may well be possible to enter and race over more than one course on the day but that will depend on the numbers attending.

We have attached a form for individuals and teams to complete and to scan and send to us to show intent on competing.

Nearer the time we will put up details of the times of the racing on the Octathalon website www.octathalon.com

Racing the Octathalon on the 28th April will give you a great goal to train for over the next few weeks so why not come and give it a go. For those of you who are really fit we have some top male and female Octathaletes coming to race so we can guarantee you some good competition.

We look forward to hearing from you. Please just email me jacqui@octathalon.com to indicate you are coming and which race you wish to enter. If you are not a member yet, it is easy to register on the site (just £18 for the year). Unfortunately we cannot register people as members on the day of the racing so you will need to sign up before then.
