OPERATION 180

LAST YEAR WAS THE TEST.
THIS YEAR, WE GO TO WAR.

20 TEAMS.

180 MINUTES.

ONE WINNER.

OPERATION 180 returns for 2026 — harder, sharper and built for teams who want to find out what happens when the legs go, the lungs burn and there are still orders to follow.

Last year’s recruits called it:

“BRUTAL BUT CLASS.”

“TOUGH.”

“A MENTAL BATTLE AS WELL AS PHYSICAL.”

And our personal favourite:

“YOU STOLE MY HEART AND DESTROYED MY SOUL.”

That was only the test.

THE MISSION

Teams of 5 athletes will compete continuously for 180 minutes.

Each unit must contain a minimum of 2 female athletes.

Running.

SkiErg.

Rotation.

Strategy.

Recovery.

Repeat.

For three hours, every decision matters.

Go too hard and your team pays for it.

Hold back and the opposition takes ground.

Your mission is simple:

ACCUMULATE MORE WORK THAN EVERY OTHER TEAM.

When 180 minutes is up, there will be no excuses and nowhere to hide.

THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED

Operation 180 is not designed to be comfortable.

It is designed to test your engine, your pacing, your teamwork and your ability to keep moving when every part of you wants to stop.

Last year, athletes described the course as energy-sapping.

They called it brutal.

They called it a mental battle.

Perfect.
