WHY THE HOPETOWN?

When TU NOVA put forward to host the 2026 Grassroots Finale and selected to host, we wanted to go big.

We wanted a venue, which is significant to Darlingtons history. Showcasing the towns achievements alongside the kettlebell clubs achievements.

With this in mind, Hopetown was a no-brainer.

This venue will make for an incredible backdrop, perfect for a season finale. The club is really excited to welcome athletes from far and wide. Bringing together beginner, intermediate, and experienced athletes under one roof to showcase Kettlebell Sport.

So, if you haven't already, make sure you save the date: October 4th, kick off at 10 am. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates in the run-up to the competition.
