BEAT IT was created from one belief: running can be more exciting, more competitive and more connected.
A format where it’s not just your finishing time that matters, but every kilometre along the way. Where runners of different levels take on the same challenge. And where sport, competition and entertainment come together in one experience.
You against the Clock. Level after Level.
ABOUT BEAT IT
A new chapter
in running.
Each Level
harder.
Every second
MATTERS.
BEAT IT combines the intensity of competition with the energy of a live event. Music, lights, special effects, live timing and the Cheer Zone build the pressure Level after Level.
As the field gets smaller, the pressure gets bigger. And the closer you get to your limit, the more intense the experience becomes.
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.
CHALLENGER
BEAT THE LEVELS. EARN YOUR RANK.
15 Levels. Beat Level 15 and earn your place on the Final Lap. CHALLENGER is the competitive Division for runners ready to push their limits and climb the official BEAT IT Rankings.

Frequently Asked Questions
about the format.
What happens if I just miss the Cut-off Time?
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 Points do not transfer from one Division to another.
Which Division is right for me?
Choose the Division that matches your current level and ambition. IMPACT offers more time without official Ranking pressure. CHALLENGER is built for competitive runners who want to race and rank. ELITE starts faster and has no fixed number of Levels.
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.
