Brentwood School – Activities
Run / Walk

Take part in a walk or run around the athletics track to contribute miles for your House. This could be anything from running a 10k, or walking a few laps around the track, every step counts. For example, 10 laps of the track equals four kilometres, all contributing to your House total and supporting Brentwood School bursaries - the choice is yours.

Cycle & Row

Head to the cardio marquee in the centre of the athletics track, where you'll find both static bikes and rowing machines. Cycle or row as far as you can and help your House climb the leaderboard, because every mile adds up.

Hyrox New for 2026

In recognition of many preferring functional fitness challenges, we are putting on a Hyrox-style event in collaboration with the formidable 'CrossFit13'. If you don't know much about 'Rox' style events, take a look online and review the exercises below — it is a test of strength, endurance and determination.

  • Mini Rox (all ages) - £30

You can take part individually or in pairs (running together but sharing the movements). Participants will go in timed waves, with limited spaces available. Push your limits and see how far you can go.
