BRITISH ARMY WARRIOR FITNESS (BAWF)
WO1 (SMI) A Jessey RAPTC
British Army Warrior Fitness (BAWF) events have been growing in popularity since its
inception in 2015 and even more so in the past 12 months. 24 regional events have been delivered across the UK, Cyprus and Germany from Jan- May 19, culminating in the final at the ASPT in Jul 19. BAWF is home to a
growing fitness community which has seen a two-fold increase, totalling 253 teams attending competitions in the 2018/19 season. Soldier athletes continue to be tested in the regional events on the 3 categories of military fitness: endurance, strength and mobility. Only a select few will earn an invitation to the BAWF Final held in the summer of each year.
The future of BAWF is in development and seeking new ways to fulfil the requirement for fitness competitions. SSgt Shackleton RAPTC has recently delivered a ‘Battle Buddies’ event in the Scotland Region which allowed competitors to compete as a pair. There are plans to run multiple pairs events across the regions and hopefully an Individual event coming soon.
