About this Event
ENGINE: EXTRACTION
Four athletes. One unknown location. No phones. No maps. Get your entire team back—and then earn your finish.
ENGINE: EXTRACTION is a team navigation and functional-fitness challenge unlike any ordinary race.
Teams of four will report to Fitness Blueprint before surrendering their phones, watches, maps, money and other navigation aids. You will then board event transport, put on blackout goggles and be taken to an undisclosed location.
When the goggles come off, the clock starts.
Your first mission is to work out where you are and navigate your entire team back to Fitness Blueprint—with no GPS, no maps and no outside transport.
But reaching the gym doesn’t mean you’ve finished.
Once your full team crosses the extraction line, you will be given a mystery ENGINE workout. You’ll need to communicate, divide the workload and play to each athlete’s strengths. Your official time stops only when all four athletes have returned and the final workout has been completed.
CHOOSE YOUR EXTRACTION
5K EXTRACTION
Our more accessible Run/Walk challenge. Your drop point will be approximately 5km from Fitness Blueprint, measured in a straight line. Your chosen route will almost certainly be longer.
10K EXTRACTION
The full competitive challenge. Your drop point will be approximately 10km from Fitness Blueprint, measured in a straight line. Expect your actual route—and your time under pressure—to be considerably longer.
