The Deadly Dozen has been designed to be one of the hardest yet most accessible fitness races in the world.

The race involves 12x 400m runs, which we refer to as “Journeys”, and 12x exercise stations, which we refer to as “Labours.” The Labours only use bodyweight (BW), kettlebell (KB), dumbbell (DB) and weight plate (WP) exercises. Therefore, race training is incredibly accessible in any setting, whether in a gym, at home, or outdoors. Ultimately, an individual could effectively train for the event with just a pair of kettlebells.

Official Deadly Dozen Track Races are held on athletics tracks worldwide and involve running a 400m lap before crossing over into the centre and completing a Labour and repeating the process until the athlete has completed all 12 Labours.

The Deadly Dozen is not just a fitness race but also a training methodology that creates a complete training system designed to improve Strength, Speed and Stamina. We also have a series of Gym Races (STRONG & ERG).
