Shining a light on farmers’ wellbeing at Britain’s Fittest Farmer contest
Physical and mental wellbeing is crucial to everyone, everywhere, regardless of someone’s line of work, but especially so for those working in a demanding industry like farming.
As a proud sponsor of Farmers Weekly’s ‘Britain’s Fittest Farmer’ contest for the last three years, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is helping to shine a light on farmers’ physical and mental wellbeing, championing the vital work that farmers do.
Established in 2018, the competition celebrates the farming community’s strength and resilience with a series of demanding assault courses designed to test competitors’ power, speed and mental endurance.
This year, the contest concluded at The Farmer’s Dog, Chipping Norton – owned by Jeremy Clarkson – as competitors battled through several rounds of challenging events. For the first time, this included the ‘Amarok pull’.
While at the event, attendees also had the chance to check out Volkswagen’s pick-up truck. With a robust design and 3.5-tonne towing capacity, the vehicle is designed to facilitate work and recreational requirements, both on and off-road, to meet the demands of rural life. Discover more here.
Congratulations to all who took part in this year’s competition, including the 2025 category winners:
