Sidekicks, Train Together. Compete Together. Finish Together.
Sidekicks is FLATOUT's team challenge for one adult and one junior participant. Take on the course together, support each other through every zone, and experience the satisfaction of reaching the finish line side by side.
What are Sidekicks?
Sidekicks is a Flatout race experience designed for one adult and one junior participant. Built around teamwork and shared achievement, it gives teams the opportunity to take on the course together in a format that is both supportive and challenging.
Unlike an individual race, Sidekicks focuses on partnership. Teams move through every zone together, supporting each other through the course and sharing the effort from start to finish.
Whether it's parent and child, guardian and junior athlete, or family members taking on the challenge together, Sidekicks provides a shared goal to work towards and the satisfaction of completing the course as a team.

How it works
Sidekicks follows the Flatout race format with a team structure designed for one adult and one junior participant.
Teams move through a series of challenge zones that combine running, endurance, and movement-based stations. Distances and workloads are adapted so both participants can contribute throughout the course while taking on a meaningful challenge together.
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.
