BEAT IT was created from one belief: running can be more challenging, more exciting and more connected. It’s not about the longest distance. It’s about the battle against the clock. A format where every Level matters and every runner writes their own story.
ABOUT BEAT IT
A new chapter
in running.
Each level
harder.
Every second
mATTERS.
BEAT IT combines athletic challenge with the energy of a live show. Music, Special Effects, LED screens, live timings and Cheer Zones make every Level climax.
The clock sets
the pace.
Every Level is exactly one kilometre. The distance stays the same. The Cut-off Time doesn’t. Level after Level, the challenge increases until only the strongest runners remain.

Frequently Asked Questions
about the format.
What happens if I just miss a time limit?
Your race ends at that Level and you enter the Cheer Zone. Your official result remains recorded.
Can I switch from Challenger to ELITE during the season?
Yes. CHALLENGER and ELITE are separate Divisions with separate Rankings. Results and Ranking positions do not transfer between Divisions.
How many Levels do most participants complete?
It varies greatly depending on the runner and Division. And that’s exactly what makes BEAT IT so exciting.
What is APEX 50?
APEX 50 is not a Division. It is BEAT IT’s annual Championship for the highest-ranked CHALLENGER and ELITE athletes.
