Sand Drag Sled

What it's for

The Sand Drag Sled is built for developing acceleration, power, and sprint mechanics without the bulk of a traditional metal sled. Fill the bags with sand, gravel, or soil, clip on the included waist belt, and you have a simple, effective drag tool for grass, track, or any open outdoor space. It's suited to sprint work, short acceleration efforts, and general conditioning sessions.

How it works

The sled holds three fillable weight bags, each capable of taking up to 10lb of sand, gravel, or soil. Load one bag for lighter work, two for moderate resistance, or all three for a maximum drag weight of 30lb. The waist belt connects via a tow strap, keeping resistance centred through your hips as you drive forward. Because the belt allows 360-degree movement, you can train forward, backward, and laterally — not just in a straight line.

Designed for everyday use

The sled shell is made from PVC tarpaulin — durable enough for repeated outdoor use on grass, gravel, and track surfaces. The base is reinforced and waterproof, built to handle dragging without wearing through. Unlike a metal prowler sled, there's no rigid frame to manage — the flexible design is easier to handle, pack, and transport between sessions.

Storage & space

When empty, the sled folds flat and the bags pack down alongside it. The full kit — sled, three bags, and waist belt — fits easily into a kit bag. There's no bulky frame or fixed footprint, making it a practical option for home training, team sessions, and environments where a full sled setup isn't realistic.

Good to know

Sand, gravel, and soil are not included — you supply the fill. Sand is the most practical choice as it's widely available and packs consistently. Each bag holds up to 10lb; all three loaded gives a maximum of approximately 30lb (13.5kg). The sled is designed primarily for outdoor use — resistance will vary slightly depending on surface and conditions. If you want upper-body load distribution for heavier resistance work, the Speed Training Harness is the better option.
