Battle Cancer UK City League
About This Competition
We are hitting the road to bring the Battle Cancer experience to gyms across the UK!
SEVEN CITIES. THREE WEEKS. ONE GOAL.
Unable to deliver our largest events with everyone together this year, we are coming to you instead.
We will be taking over gyms in London, Cardiff, Manchester, York, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast with one challenge for a country-wide Battle Cancer UK City League.
You can join us in person, OR complete the challenge remotely in your own gym.
Teams of four:
- All male
- All female
- Mixed (2 men, 2 women / 1 man, 3 women / 3 men, 1 woman)
The Workouts:
Fundraise for your chosen cancer charity, compete in two 9-minute Battle Cancer style workouts as a team of four to win epic prizes from our partners WIT and BLK BOX.
Video your workout and submit your score online. We recommend using WODProof App.
Workout 1: Fundrising AMRAP - As Much Raised As Possible. The more you raise, the higher your score! £1 = 1 rep.
Workout 2 & 3: Released 12/10/20. Two 9-minute workouts completed one straight after the other with 5-minutes rest in between, creating a 23-minute challenge.
Workouts have been designed so that athletes can maintain a 1m distance between each other at all times where needed.
We are for everyone. No complicated movements, barbell or rig. Just hard work and sweat for those suffering more than us.

Prizes for two winning teams:
While we do have a leaderboard, it's the taking part that counts. Each team that enters and submits their scores and videos will be entered into a draw to have the chance to win one of two epic money-can't-buy prizes:
Prize WIT - Travel to London for your team for a money-can't-buy experience at WIT Fitness including personal shopping experience, kit drop, workout with WIT's coaches, photo shoot, AND become the faces of the new Battle Cancer x WIT campaign.
Prize BLK BOX - Travel to Belfast for your team for a money-can't-buy experience at BLK BOX including a a behind the scenes glimpse of BLK BOX’s HQ in the iconic Titanic quarter. As well as the chance to train at BLK BOX's showroom gym and tour its HQ and workshop, you will also design, engineer and fabricate their own personalised piece of kit to take home.
