Squad Games Duo Event Announced

While the April 11-12, 2026, event is a new installment, the Squad Games Duo format has a history of testing partner strategies through a series of workouts over a weekend. Past events have featured 5 to 6 workouts, with the final leaderboard determined solely by the cumulative points from all events, meaning there is no final championship workout. The competition is known for its multiple divisions catering to various fitness levels, typically including Scaled (beginner), Intermediate, Rx (elite), and a Masters division. In previous years, the Masters category has had age requirements of 40+ for men and 35+ for women, competing at an intermediate standard. Previous iterations of the Squad Games Duo have taken place at venues like the Diggers Rugby Club in Randburg, South Africa, creating a festival-like atmosphere with DJs, MCs, and vendors for spectators and athletes. Spectator entry has been permitted for a daily fee, and attendees have been allowed to bring items like gazebos and cooler boxes to settle in for the day. Workouts in past competitions have been released in the months leading up to the event, giving registered teams time to prepare. These tests have been designed to require minimum work from each team member and have sometimes included varied challenges like swimming for all competitors. Podium finishers in all divisions receive prizes, with the top Rx teams typically earning a cash prize.
