wHAT IS IT?
Rugby Rox is the combination of your two favourite things – Rugby & Fitness! Hosted by Burgess Hill Rugby Club and Potential Personal Training.
The goal? Getting outdoors, challenging your fitness & having fun.
Inspired by something that rhymes with HighSocks, this is a pairs based fitness challenge (same sex or mixed), you can expect 8-10 intervals (approx 600m) & fitness challenges – some inspired by the gym and some inspired by what you do on the pitch. Exact details, including rules of the event will be confirmed 2 weeks prior.
WHY SHOULD I DO IT?

Well then this event if for you!
The even is carefully planned so no matter your current fitness or skill level, you’ll be able to take on the challenge.
All exercise stations are safe and effective and will be overseen by experienced coaches to help motivate, support, referee and adapt where necessary.
Oh and there’s a free beer (or soft drink) after your race! Plus fastest men’s, women’s and mixed pairs will win a bottle of bubbly from the wonderful Ridgeview.
