What are Sidekicks?

Combining movement, teamwork, and shared achievement, the event is designed to bring athletes of different ages onto the same race floor in a format that is both supportive and challenging.
Unlike a standard individual race, Sidekicks focuses on partnership. Every zone is approached as a team, encouraging communication, encouragement, and momentum from start to finish.
Whether it's parent and child, guardian and junior athlete, or family members taking on the challenge together, Sidekicks is built to create lasting memories through movement and achievement.

How it works
Sidekicks follows the Flatout race format with a paired team structure designed specifically for one adult and one junior participant.
Teams move through a series of challenge zones that combine cardio, endurance, and movement-based stations. Distances and workloads are adapted to ensure both participants can contribute throughout the course while still experiencing the intensity and energy of race day.
For selected zones, the junior distance is adjusted from the adult standard, allowing teams to move through the course together while maintaining an age-appropriate challenge level.
Teamwork, energy & shared achievement
From the moment teams step onto the course, Sidekicks creates an atmosphere built on encouragement, movement, and connection. Every station becomes an opportunity to support each other, stay focused together, and celebrate progress side by side.
The experience combines the energy of a Flatout race with the excitement of taking on something meaningful as a team. Throughout the course, participants push through zones together, motivate each other through every challenge, and share the reward of crossing the finish line as one.
For juniors, it is a chance to feel supported, capable, and confident in a real race environment. For adults, it is an opportunity to lead, encourage, and create lasting memories through movement and achievement.
Sidekicks is more than completing a course. It is about showing up together, staying committed together, and finishing stronger together.
