PARTICIPANT WAIVER AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

 

Race Format and Locations

 

The standard DURARE race format consists of:

 

1. 8 labours and 8 runs all performed whilst either carrying, lifting, moving or jumping over a weighted sandbag;

2. 600 metre runs between every labour station;

3. 60 repetitions or 60 metres of work at each of the 8 labour stations;

4. Prescribed movements (burpees, bear crawl, thrusters, lunges, box stepovers, squats, seated twists, ground to overhead), equipment, loads, and standards defined by division and as set out in the official DURARE Briefing Document (www.racedurare.co.uk/briefing) and the official DURARE Movement Standards Video (www.racedurare.co.uk/video).

The standard DURARE race format may be completed Solo (male/female) or in Pairs (male/female/mixed) and is separated into Open and Pro divisions with predetermined sandbag weight categories.
