For the first time, functional fitness will be featured at the Totally Wicked Stadium, the 18,000 seater St Helens Rugby League stadium. Featuring intermediate and RX categories, this event will challenge you like never before.

The Venue

This venue has played host to top flight Rugby League, international rugby and Premiership Football teams. Now, the sport of fitness will be hosted on this grand stage. Rugby League is in the blood of St Helens and, as a proud St Helens event, we're excited to blend the sports of fitness and rugby together for one weekend. 

The Experience

As more events pop up around the country, any athlete can compete any weekend in any location they choose. Events must become more exciting experiences and offer you, the athlete, more razzmataz to fuel your passion. With that said, fundamentally this is a high quality competitive fitness event where you will face athletes of exceptional standards. Challenge yourself against the best at The Northern Games.
