PALADIN
FITNESS RACING
EVERYDAY ATHLETE VIBES
The Future of Fitness Racing Is Here.
Paladin Fitness Racing puts your speed, strength, endurance, and mental grit to the test in a functional fitness race built for every level, from first-timers to seasoned athletes. No two competitors take on the course the same way, but everyone toes the same line, chases the same clock, and earns their own personal best.
Two race formats, one epic event.
WARRIOR is fast, sharp, and unforgiving a race that rewards speed, power, and the ability to hold nothing back when it counts.
ENDURANCE is the long game, a true test of stamina and pacing, where the racers who manage themselves best are the ones still strong at the finish.
Race solo or as a team, in divisions built to suit your goals whether that’s chasing a leaderboard spot or simply proving something to yourself.
UPCOMING EVENTS
ATHLETE HUB
Race day rewards the prepared. The Athlete Hub is your one-stop prep centre — race formats, movement standards, weight standards, rules, and training plans, all in one place, so there are no surprises on the start line.
Whether you’re locking in your first Paladin race or chasing a season points title, this is where you come to know exactly what’s expected of you — what weight to lift, how each movement is judged, and how to train for Warrior or Endurance — so you can walk in ready, not guessing.
Train smart. Know the standards. Race with confidence.
EVENT PARTNERS
Paladin was founded by Sam Seaton, a lifelong coach whose own journey culminating in qualifying for Kona in 2020, reignited a simple belief: the thrill of competitive fitness racing shouldn’t be reserved for elite athletes. It should belong to everyone. That belief, shaped by years running FitStop Morningside and building an inclusive training community, is what Paladin is built on.
Because for us, it was never just about the race clock. It’s about the community around the start line, the training partners, the teammates, the strangers who become mates by the finish. At Paladin, effort shines and every participant wins; it’s about personal bests, not just placings.
Our vision is to keep bringing this kind of epic, inclusive racing experience to more cities and more of the fitness community, one season at a time.
