Built Around Challenge and Achievement
NextGen allows young athletes to put their training to the test in a structured race environment. From the start line to the final zone, participants take on a series of challenges designed to reward effort, focus, and determination.
Every station introduces a new task. Every zone encourages athletes to stay engaged, keep moving, and work through a challenge at their own pace. Along the course, they are supported by the Flatout team, volunteers, and spectators who help create a positive race-day atmosphere.
Completing the course is only part of the experience. For many participants, NextGen is their first experience of a structured fitness competition, providing a clear goal to work towards and the satisfaction of crossing the finish line after earning every step.
