Battle of the Gyms

Your gym.Your crew.One score.

Every VORTEX race is also a battle between gyms. Athletes who sign up through their gym race for it, and the points they score add up to the gym's total.

    Score together

    Every athlete scores for the gym: Solo, Doubles, Relay, Sprint, Kids and Kid + Parent. Top 10 of every age group earn points, and every finisher gets participation points.

    Earn free tickets

    10 entries = 1 free, 20 = 3 free, 30 = 5 free, 40 = 7 free, and onward. Your balance is in the gym dashboard.
