Functional fitness × the farmyard
Round up your six, grab your tent, and earn your milk. 💪🐄
The Grind
Welcome to The Dairy Grind — a two-day functional-fitness throwdown set on a working dairy farm in the heart of North Cornwall. Raw, rugged, and unforgettable.
Teams of six take on a series of gritty, unconventional events built to test strength, endurance and teamwork — with a few farmyard twists. Expect familiar movements in unfamiliar formats, and plenty of rural grind.
Fitness meets the farmyard.Earn your milk.
The Events
Familiar movements in unfamiliar formats — designed to reward grit, teamwork and a willingness to get stuck in. A taste of what's coming:
Ground to over the bar — farmyard edition. Heavy, awkward, relentless.
Drag it, flip it, repeat. Pure grunt against the Cornish hill.
Off the grass and onto the farm tracks — lungs and legs on the line.
Sandbags, kegs and whatever the farm provides. Strongman, rural style.
Classic movements stacked into unfamiliar formats to test the engine.
A few twists you won't see coming. Built to challenge all levels.
Six of this year's workouts have already been released, with full movement standards and scoring — see the WODs below.

The Workouts
A taster, not the full list. These are a sample of the workouts — for both years. More are still to be announced, and a few we're keeping back until the weekend.
'The DG Dash'
What's in store? You'll have to wait and see. Teams should be prepared to duck, dive, jump, crawl, flip and balance their way through The DG Dash. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Time for all members of the team to complete The DG Dash.
Two athletes must be working on the worm whilst the other four are involved in the Double Dutch. Athletes can switch in and out of either sub team once a round is complete — a round being complete once both the worm and Double Dutch movements have been done. Continue for 15 minutes, completing as many rounds as possible.
Total number of rounds and reps completed at 15:00.
On 3, 2, 1 go, all six athletes run together and complete a 3k trail run. Once the 3k loop has been completed, two athletes per team drop off and the remaining four go on to complete a further 2k trail run loop. Once the 2k loop has been completed, two more athletes drop off and the remaining two go on to complete a further 1k loop.
Time to complete the full 6k trail run.
Time to complete 20 rounds of rope climbs and synchro burpees — or total completed rope climbs at the cap.
The team splits into two groups of three. Three athletes work through the 75 calorie row, split however they like. The other sub team loads the sandbags into the wheelbarrow; two athletes push the wheelbarrow to the hay bale while the third pulls the sled alongside them. At the hay bale, unload the sandbags — the sandbags and all three athletes must pass over the bale. Then complete the course in reverse, returning the sandbags to the starting point. The groups then switch and repeat.
Sandbags — 30kg, 50kg & 70kg
For time, or completed rounds & reps at 15 minutes.
The team splits into two groups of three. Three athletes complete one lap on the bikes (helmets will be provided). The other three complete 10 synchro partner wall balls, 10 synchro partner worm clean & jerks and 10 synchro burpees over the worm — all three athletes. Sub team 2 may switch in and out of the wall balls and worm C&Js as they wish. Sub teams swap after all three members of sub team 1 have completed one bike lap.
Wall balls — 9kg (male) / 6kg (female) · Worm — 50kg
Scored in two parts: total completed bike laps at 20:00, and total completed wall ball, worm & burpee reps at 20:00.
This is a sample of the 2026 workouts, not the complete line-up — more are still to be released, and some stay secret until you're stood on the field. Follow @the.dairygrind for each drop.
A sample of the workouts teams took on at the inaugural Dairy Grind in 2025 — not the full weekend, but exactly the kind of grind to train for.
Worked in subteams of three — one subteam works while the other rests.
Two athletes chip the wall balls while four work the burpees; in the remaining time, rack up worm reps with four working and two resting, switching as needed.
Time to face the bag. One lift at a time, the weight gets heavier — everyone gets tested, everyone gets challenged. How heavy can you go?
A selection from the 2025 weekend — there were more than these four.
The Team Behind It
The Dairy Grind is brought to you by the crew at CrossFit Onen — a community gym in Wadebridge, North Cornwall, where getting fit is genuinely good fun and every workout feels like a session with mates.
There are no quick fixes and no gimmicks here, and definitely no intimidation. Coaching meets you where you are, no matter your starting point — everyone's welcome and every level belongs. As the Onen lot like to say, the toughest part is just walking through the door.
That same community spirit is exactly what built The Dairy Grind: a proper, no-nonsense test run by people who love this sport and the people who turn up for it.
"Getting fit is fun — and every workout feels like a party with friends."
