This race event takes place at 12pm on Sunday 13th September, with British and Danish participants competing against each other in teams of two, in the grounds of Kurhotel Skodsborg.
The Race Simulation Event is scheduled within a wider programme of fitness and wellbeing sessions across the two-days, including Kurhotel Skodsborg’s signature spa offering, SaunaGus and a unique and deeply restorative Hot Stretch session. All meals are also included, enjoyed in the chic Lobby and Bar or restaurant Brasserie Carl, featuring a newly-launched Nordic menu of the best local, seasonal and sustainable produce.

Information
Participants can book in pairs or solo – all are welcome! It is a sociable event so if you do book in on your own, we will pair you with a partner for the Race Simulation Event and you will be part of the wider group for all other scheduled activities.
The Race Simulation Event will be held on the grounds of Kurhotel Skodsborg. The race consists of six training stations, with a 1.2-kilometer running segment between each station. During each running segment, participants must also complete two obstacles from the Fitness Track before proceeding to the next station. Participants will compete in pairs of two.
The exercises will include:
- Burpee broad jumps
- Kettlebell swings
- Sandbag carries
- Walking lunges with dumbbell
- Farmer carries
- Rowing
Participants will compete in pairs.
Workout with Sandra: The purpose of this session is to familiarize participants with the course and the exercises in the Race Simulation Event. Participants will learn techniques to help them navigate the obstacle course, which will be part of the event’s structure.
Training session with Uche: A movement-based session focusing on mobility, coordination, and body control through natural movement patterns and fluid sequences.
SaunaGus: Kurhotel Skodsborg’s signature spa offering, a favourite among members and a truly Danish experience, this is the ultimate in contrast therapy; an aromatherapy sauna in which a Gusmester uses a swirling towel to infuse the air with pure essential oils giving a mild scent that – combined with the heat – enhances relaxation. Each session ends with a dip in The Sound to juxtapose the extreme heat and push guests’physical and mental limits.
Hot Stretch: A unique and deeply restorative session drawing on principles of Yin Yoga and mindful relaxation, held at a soothing 37°C. In this practice, poses are held for between one and four minutes, allowing muscles, joints and connective tissue to lengthen and release tension. This slow, intentional approach supports both physical and mental wellbeing: enabling greater freedom of movement while balancing the mind and nurturing a sense of calm.
