Saturday 21st September 2024: Tusk and fitness enterprise Be Military Fit (BMF) are teaming up to host a FREE, unique workout competition, The Ranger Workout Challenge this September. The workout challenge is taking place in support of The Wildlife Ranger Challenge for one day only in Hyde Park from 10.00am-11.00am, so make sure to secure a spot and sign up now!

Joining forces for a second year, Tusk and BMF are offering a classic BMF workout with an exciting competitive twist, giving you the opportunity to see whether you have what it takes to train like a Wildlife Ranger. The hour-long fitness competition has been curated to support The Wildlife Ranger Challenge (WRC), which is a unique physical endurance test that connects over 170 Wildlife Ranger teams from 24 African countries. It raises funds for Wildlife Rangers across the African continent, and is coordinated by Tusk and the Game Rangers Association of Africa (GRAA). Wildlife Rangers are at the forefront of conservation and work as guardians of Africa’s wildlife, but often operate in dangerous working environments and face threats, violence, injury and disease.

The WRC is the world’s largest celebration of support and solidarity for the challenging yet vital profession, which is held on the same day as the Ranger Workout Challenge. Wildlife Ranger teams from across Africa will participate in a half-marathon, running across some of the continent’s most remote and stunning landscapes. Men carry 22kg of gear, and women carry 10kg.

The Ranger Workout Challenge is being held in solidarity with the WRC, allowing Brits to participate in the campaign in a unique way! Held at BMF Hyde Park (by the Triangle Car Park), the workout is free to attend for anyone that wants to step up to the challenge, with donations encouraged online or at the event itself. All proceeds will be directly invested in supporting rangers via the Wildlife Ranger Challenge ranger fund. If you are in the mood to kick off your weekend by challenging yourself to a ranger-style workout, sign up HERE to participate.

The Class
Participants should arrive at the Triangle Car Park located in Hyde Park by 9:45am for a 10:00am start. They will be greeted by the BMF and Tusk team for a short introduction on the Wildlife Ranger Challenge and what their workout will entail. Participants will be placed into teams in true Wildlife Ranger style, and will go head to head in a series of challenges and body-weight workouts based on the training programmes followed by thousands of Africa’s frontline rangers, including burpees, weighted sprints, push ups and sit ups.
