What is DURARE?

DURARE (Race Durare) is an outdoor fitness race in England that is run while carrying a weighted sandbag. Its events take place around Telford and Shropshire, at venues such as CrossFit Telford, Oakengates Leisure Centre and a rugby club, and it is organised by Race Durare Ltd.

The race has eight blocks. In each one, athletes complete 60 reps of a movement and then a 600 m run: burpees, bear crawls, thrusters, lunges, box step-overs, seated twists, squats and ground-to-overheads. Athletes enter solo or as pairs in the DURARE Pro or Open division, with 55+ categories. Sandbag weights range from 7.5 kg to 25 kg depending on division and gender. With no built-in rest, DURARE is aimed at hybrid athletes, gym users and runners, and many entrants come from the CrossFit and HYROX communities.
