ENTER THE 10KM

Not Just Another Race

Most races end at the finish line. Ours is just getting started.

We created the Protein Rebel Running Festival because we believe running shouldn't be a lonely pursuit of pace. It's about nature, connection, and celebrating the fact that our bodies can do amazing things.

Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or tackling your first 10km off-road, you belong here.
