Survivalrun Brugge-Damme-Brugge

The event offers 7 kilometre categories for women aged 12 to 14, men aged 12 to 14, duos aged 8 and up or 12 and up, and trios aged 8 and up or 12 and up. The 10 kilometre race has categories for women and men aged 15 to 17 and adults aged 18 and over, plus duo and trio teams aged 15 and up. A 20 kilometre race is available for men aged 18 and over.

Duo and trio entries let a small team run together as one entry, with the minimum age stated for each category. Team rules such as how members must finish together or how times are recorded are not given on this listing, so please check the organiser's website before entering.

The 7 kilometre race suits younger runners and newcomers to obstacle or survival-style running. The 10 kilometre race is a good step up for those with some running experience. The 20 kilometre race is the longest option and is open to men aged 18 and over, so it suits experienced runners who have trained for a longer effort.

The official website of the organiser is the best source for the most recent details, including the route, start times, registration, and any updates. The event listing on running.life may not always reflect the latest changes, so it is worth checking the organiser's site before you travel.

Build up your running distance gradually in the weeks before the event, and include some strength work for the arms, legs and core. If the course has obstacles or uneven ground, practise on similar terrain where possible. Make sure you are comfortable with the distance you have chosen before race day.
