Wednesday, 30 July 2025 10:15

The ANYROCKS fitness challenge is coming to Harrogate in September.

Fitness enthusiasts across Harrogate are invited to take part in a new challenge event this September, with options for all abilities and fitness levels.

The ANYROCKS Challenge will take place on Saturday 6th September at the Harrogate Leisure and Wellbeing Hub, open exclusively to members of Active North Yorkshire leisure centres.

7am–8:30am – Competitive Singles
8:30am–10am – Competitive Doubles
