WHY THIS CHORE
SHOW UP READY.
The race everyone's suddenly talking about — outdoor, scenic, and built by the local gym community rather than a global franchise, with a finish photo backdropped by Tower Bridge.

Why This One's Blowing Up
FLATOUT launched in 2026 as an unofficial answer to Hyrox mania in London, and press coverage has leaned straight into that — one outlet called it the city's "latest unofficial spin-off" of the Hyrox obsession. What sets it apart: the running sections are outdoors along the Thames, not on an indoor exhibition-hall loop, and every workout zone is run by a different local London gym rather than a single global operator.
The Format
4 km of total running, broken into 8 x 500 m runs, each followed by a functional workout zone: SkiErg, Goblet Squats, BikeErg, burpees, RowErg, Farmers Carry, lunges, and Ground-to-Overheads. Six ways to enter: Solo, Elite (weighted vest, cash prizes), Doubles, Relay (team of 4), NextGen (ages 8–15), and Sidekicks (one adult + one junior).
Venue
Old Billingsgate Market, on the Thames near Tower Bridge — one of London's most scenic race backdrops, with the finish-line photo taken against the Tower Bridge skyline.
Date
25–27 September 2026, racing across three days with different formats assigned to different days (Solo: Sat/Sun; Elite: Sat only; Doubles: Fri–Sun; Relay: Fri/Sun).
What's Included
No booking fees, a free event t-shirt, free spectator entry for supporters, a free professional race photo, a finisher medal, and a FLATOUT patch.
Who It's For
Athletes who already train 2–3 times a week and want a benchmark race day without the cost or scarcity of major indoor Hyrox events — plus a genuinely accessible entry point for families via NextGen and Sidekicks.
