We hosted our second WRPF event at ZeroW, and what a day it was.

Kilo Classic III brought together lifters of all experience levels, with the event split into both Novice and Sanctioned categories.

Novice and Sanctioned categories

The Novice category was designed for those taking their first steps into powerlifting — giving first-time competitors the opportunity to experience the platform, compete alongside like-minded lifters and enjoy the atmosphere of a proper powerlifting event, with the support of the ZeroW community around them.

The Sanctioned category gave more experienced competitors the chance to put together another competition, chase new personal bests and work towards qualifying for the 2027 Nationals.

A huge congratulations to every lifter who stepped onto the platform. Whether it was your first competition or your latest one, we hope you enjoyed the experience as much as we did.

And, of course, a massive thank you to WRPF for helping us put on another great event at ZeroW.
