WHAT TO EXPECT


The Rainhill Trials are functional fitness competitions open to all levels of athlete. Experience of functional fitness is required and basic competency of movements such as barbell clean & jerk, kettlebell snatch, box jumps, wall balls, running, rowing etc


The workouts will be shared with athletes two weeks before the competition and will be appropriately designed for each age category.


We know that there are many masters athletes out there with a high skill level, so whilst the workouts will be challenging and allow you to showcase your talents, there will be scaling opportunities for those who want to compete safely at their own ability level.

Typical weights:
70-79 years : 35kg/ 50kg STOH
80-89 years : 30kg/ 45kg STOH
90-99 years : 25kg/ 40kg STOH
100+ years : 20kg/ 35kg STOH

Gymastics:
70-79 years : Pull-ups (f) Chest to bar (m) : Toes to bar
80-89 years : Pull-ups (m&f) : Toes to bar
90+ years : American Kettlebell swings 12kg (f) 20kg (m) : sit ups

Other:
Wall balls
Box Jumps
Rowing
Running (max 400m)

All weights and gymnastic movements can be scaled at a ranking penalty. We want all athletes to be able to complete the workouts in a fair and equitable manner. These movements are guidelines and may not be included in the workouts on the day.

We welcome adaptive athletes to The Rainhill Trials.
