FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be really fit to take part?
Our events are designed for everyone! Yes, they are challenging, but the movements are not super-technical and therefore are accessible to everyone!
Do finishers receive anything?
Yes a lovely Essex Games medal! There will also be prizes for the top male, female and mixed pairs.
How do the competition stations work for pairs?
You and your partner will set off at the same time, you don’t have to complete the running part together (although you both have to do it) but you can’t start the stations until you are both back from the run. Upon finishing, you will receive a total finish time.
Will there be water stations on the course?
Absolutely!
