1. Kettlebell Beach Run Relay
How it works
The Kettlebell Beach Run Relay is a team activity designed to stimulate both fun and physical performance. Participants are divided into teams and each member must travel a pre-established track carrying a variable weight kettlebell.

The length of the course, the weight of the kettlebells and the number of repetitions can be modulated based on the level of training of the participants and their age, making the game suitable for both beginners and more experienced athletes.
The beach setting adds an element of natural instability that increases difficulty and further stimulates balance and proprioception.
