OUR STORY

Tribal Clash started from humble beginnings.

The first Tribal Clash was held on Blackpool Sands beach in Devon on the south coast of UK during a hot August weekend in 2013. This first competition had 100 teams of 4 athletes, 2 men and 2 women. The vision was to create a competition that took the best bits of CrossFit, obstacle racing and endurance racing, and deliver them all in a stunning beachside location. The idea was to challenge fitness in its rawest form, face athletes with unusual equipment and push them outside of their comfort zone utilising the best that the spectacular Devon coastline had to offer. In a first fitness event of its kind, Tribal Clash created a community festival where tribes camped on the beach, there were DJs and the famous Taiko drummers, and a real beach party vibe.

Tribal Clash then Grew over the years to a max of 4 Tribal clashes in a year across the globe, hosting events in U.K, Portugal, Australia and The USA with over 8000 athletes competing on the sands!

Our goal is to rekindle the essence of Tribal Clash by bringing it back to its roots, returning to its birthplace in Devon, UK. Our aim is simple: to help people “fall in love” with the event all over again.
