Poppyscotland launch brand new Battalia Fit

Sign up to help raise awareness and funds for Scotland’s veterans

Looking for a new challenge? Or to push yourself further in 2025? Then why not sign up to take part in Poppyscotland’s brand new Battalia Fit.

Battalia Fit is our very own hybrid fitness competition, mirroring other contests such as the hugely popular Hyrox, Spartan, and DEKA FIT.

Taking place at Crossfit gym, within Airdrieonian’s Albert Bartlett Stadium, on Saturday 21st June, Battalia Fit is made up of 10 stations with 500m runs in between (5km in total).

Each station is based on activities those serving in the military must carry out in their training and will include burpees, press ups, box jumps, squats, a 1km row and more, pushing your fitness ability to the core.

Gordon Michie, Poppyscotland’s Head of Fundraising and Learning said: “This is our inaugural Battalia Fit and we cannot wait to get along to Crossfit in Airdrie and see all of the wonderful people who have come out to participate in our first ever fitness competition and show their support for our charity.

“This event will raise so much awareness of Poppyscotland and the work we do supporting the Armed Forces community at times of need, including help with housing, debt, mental health, and mobility.

“A huge thank you to the team at Crossfit Airdrie for allowing us to stage Battalia Fit at their gym and for the ongoing support.”

Registration for this event costs just £60 and entry Includes: a coveted finishers medal, hydration station, official event time, a workout plan to get you ready to battle, event photos and free parking.

Or participants can choose a free entry place and commit to fundraise a minimum of £150 to help us make a vital difference to our Armed Forces community.
