Welcome toThe Colosseum
Ten runs. Ten stations. One loop under the floodlights, a stand full of people and a DJ on the stage. Every athlete runs the same course, in the same order, against the clock.

The race
Ten stations.
No hiding.
Engine and strength, back to back. The rower and the ski erg empty the lungs; the sleds, the carry and the sandbag find out what is left.

The arena
Built to be watched
The stations sit inside a running loop, and the loop sits in front of the stand. Every gate opens on the track, so the crowd sees every athlete come in, work and go back out.
- The loopA 4.5 m wide running track around the whole field. Two laps a leg.
- The standSpectators along the long side, one barrier, nothing between them and the race.
- The stageThe DJ, the live leaderboard and the finish, lit at night.
- The waves12 athletes released every 10 minutes, all day. Nobody waits for a lane.
