Story
Hi, Richard and Craig combined age 130yrs are competing in the Hyrox doubles in Glasgow on the 12th March 2026 to raise funds for research into Ovarian and Testicular cancer.
Richard's wife Mary, and Craig's son Ross, have both suffered with cancer and been cared for and operated on with the incredible skills and dedication of surgeons and the wonderful oncology teams who work with such dedication and care to help patients overcome this life-threatening disease.
With continued funding for research we know that the success rate in beating cancer can only improve.
We are raising funds for Cahonas Scotland and Ovarian Cancer research and are truly grateful for any donation that you can make.
With a combined age of 130yrs, we don’t underestimate the challenge, but we are pretty keen to smash this and are in full training mode and have been since November.
HYROX combines both running and functional workout stations, where we will run 1km followed by 1 functional shared workout - repeated eight times.
The workouts are
SkiErg x 1000mtr – Sled Push 152kgs x 50mtrs – Sled Pull 103kgs x 50mtrs – Burpee broad jumps x 80mtrs – Rowing x 1000mtrs – Farmers carry 200mtrs with 2 x 24kg kettle bells – Sandbag lunges 100mtrs with 20kg sandbag - 100 wall balls with 6kg ball.
