Eager to display their fitness and wanting to be competitive during lockdown, 30 athletes from many disciplines will compete in their own heptathlon. One sea container will travel the country to act as the sporting arena for sportsmen and women at peak fitness.
There are seven extremely compact disciplines inside the container: 1.5 km distance run, a climbing course with 'monkey bars', hit a golf ball as far away as possible, row 1 km, hit 5 targets with a biathlon gun, lift as much weight as possible on the bench press and cycle 3 km. Once they have given everything they can, the next athlete gets a chance in the travelling container. There is no fairer competition, because in The Container Cup everyone has a home advantage.
