WHAT IS DEADLY DOZEN?
NO GIMMICKS.
JUST HONEST WORK.
Deadly Dozen strips fitness racing back to its essentials: running and twelve functional challenges. After every lap of 400 metres, you enter the infield to complete one Labour.
No complex machines or specialist skills. The race uses bodyweight, kettlebells, dumbbells and weight plates. Familiar equipment, tested under fatigue.
Born in the United Kingdom. Now part of a global racing community. Deadly Dozen Benelux is coming to Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Zwolle, Apeldoorn, Zandvoort, Den Bosch and Gent (BE).
