Story

David Sloan’s HYROX Marathon Madness – Charity Challenge

Our very own David Sloan the legendary (and slightly crazy) DWS Coach, has cooked up a challenge that pushes the limits — and brings the fun! On August 9th at Sierra Lima CrossFit, we’re taking on a HYROX Marathon like no other — and it’s all for a great cause. As an Alder Hey family Ambassador I’m thrilled to be taking part in this challenge. 🫶🏻

What is it?

It’s HYROX… multiplied by 10. Yes, 10X the standard distance/reps at every station. Here’s what the madness looks like:

• 10KM Ski Erg

• 500M Sled Push

• 500M Sled Pull

• 800M Burpee Broad Jumps

• 10KM Row

• 2KM Farmers Carry

• 1KM Sandbag Lunges

• 1000 Wall Balls

(All stations based on HYROX Open weights)

Between each station:

4 x 2.5KM solo runs (1 per athlete)

And after the last station:

One final 2.5KM team run

Team Options:

• Team of 4 – 12-hour time limit

• Each athlete runs a Half Marathon (22.5KM) total

• Team of 2 – 14-hour time limit

• Each athlete runs a Full Marathon (42.5KM) total

You can split the stations however you like, but the order stays the same. This is teamwork at its best — pacing, pushing, and getting through it together.

To Enter:

Each team member donates £25 to take part.

Additional donations are more than welcome and deeply appreciated — all going to Alder Hey Children’s Charity.

Join us. Suffer a bit. Laugh a lot. And make a difference.

See you at the finish line!
