ARE YOU READY TO RACE?

A high-intensity challenge that combines running and functional fitness stations, that absolutely anybody can complete.

KELTX is about more than fitness — it’s about energy, inclusion and progression. From the moment people sign up, they’ll be part of something bigger. Whether they’re chasing a top finish or simply looking to try something new, every competitor will leave feeling proud, challenged, and connected to a growing community.

This is just the beginning. KELTX is designed to scale — with more events, training partnerships, and a year-round presence planned. But it starts here, with a single race, a strong team, and a bold mission: to build the UK’s most inclusive and exciting hybrid fitness event.

For Beginners and Experts

What is KELTX?

KELTX is a doubles race consisting of 7km total run distance, split into 7 run intervals that alternate with 7 functional stations. Teamwork, strategy, and shared effort are central to the experience. It’s a high-energy format that’s as fun to do as it is to watch.
There are several entry categories to ensure everyone has a place:
  • Pro – Male/Male or Female/Female
  • Open – Male/Male or Female/Female
  • Mixed (Male/Female)
  • Youth age 12-15
  • Adult Age Categories are 16-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+

Age is determined by the sum of both participants in years only on day of competition divided by 2 eg. 26 + 40 = 66 ÷ 2 = 33 so age 30-39 cat.

Backed by years of industry experience, KELTX is created by James Earp, Dylan Myers, Tom Rawlings, Josh Mares, and Luke Watson Read — a team with deep roots in gym ownership, coaching, and delivering high-impact fitness events. Together, they’ve trained thousands of people, hosted everything from grassroots competitions to arena-scale races, and understand what makes a fitness event not just successful — but meaningful.

At its core, KELTX is a hybrid fitness race — a fast-paced combination of running, cardio machines (ergs), and functional fitness challenges. Competitors move through a structured course designed to test strength, endurance, and teamwork. Expect machines like rowers and ski-ergs, weighted and bodyweight movements, and high-energy running segments between zones. The format is simple to follow, tough to complete, and built to push your limits — regardless of your training background.

HYBRYD is the headline sponsor for KELTX, bringing its established name in the hybrid fitness space and aligning perfectly with the values of the event. Additional sponsorship opportunities are open across the course, including station branding, warm-up zones, signage, and media features — ideal for brands looking to engage with an active, switched-on audience.
