The Endurance Cup is based on four different events throughout the course of the year, the second competition, called ‘The Bootcamp Competition’ will be held tomorrow, June 7th, at Varmá sportsfield in the town Mosfellsbær, just outside of Reykjavik.

Tomorrow’s competition is largely based on participants using their own body weight to complete a variety of exercises, but sandbags, weighted vests, kettlebells and other weights are often used as well.

What makes this cup different from other sporting events is that anyone can register and participate – it’s not about winning, but about pushing yourself to your limit… or even past it.

The competition starts at 9:00am GMT with a running race between individuals; at 11am a competition between pairs begins; and finally at 12:30pm the teams begin their competition.
