HÍBRIDO DE COMBATE CONTRA EL CÁNCER 3|20
NUESTRO NUEVO DESAFÍO DE FITNESS HÍBRIDO INDIVIDUAL Y EN PAREJAS
The Battle Cancer Challenge 2026 is a 90-minute team fitness challenge completed in three zones:
-
Endurance Zone (Bike Erg, Row Erg, Ski Erg)
-
Burn Zone (Box Jump Over, Hand Release Push Ups, Sit Ups)
-
Power Zone (Sandbag Squats, Dumbbell Devil’s Press, Deadlifts)
Each zone contains three stations. At every station, teams complete 5 minutes of maximum work followed by 4 minutes of rest, then move to the next station.
Your goal is to accumulate as many reps or meters as possible at each station.
All stations use the same work format:
-
Challenge division: 2 athletes working / 2 athletes resting
-
Compete division: Some stations require all 4 athletes working.
These are noted clearly below.
Weights, synchro standards, and the required number of working athletes are detailed per station.
