Battle Cancer vs REDLINE Fitness Games: distance, stations, price & difficulty compared (2026-27)

Battle Cancer is a fitness fundraising event series in which athletes raise money for cancer charities and compete in hybrid fitness challenges. Since 2019, the organisers say, more than 100,000 athletes have taken part in events across over 15 cities, including London, Glasgow, Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Dubai, Singapore and Miami.

The main Battle Cancer Challenge is a 90-minute event for teams of four (male, female or mixed). Teams rotate through nine stations in three zones, Endurance, Burn and Power, working five minutes of maximum reps followed by four minutes of rest at each. Hybrid 3|20 is a format for individuals or pairs: three minutes of work per station across nine stations, then a 20-minute maximum-distance run. Both formats have a Challenge division that allows movement modifications and a stricter Compete division. Money raised counts as points on the leaderboard, so it suits groups who want a sociable team event with a charity goal.

REDLINE Fitness Games is a gamified functional fitness race series created in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2023 and organised by Fresh Events Asia Sdn Bhd. It has expanded across Southeast Asia, with events in Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore and Ho Chi Minh City.

The race takes participants through 12 workout stations, including a 500 m run, SkiErg, deadball over shoulder, BikeErg, farmers carry, shuttle runs, plank pull, sandbag gauntlet, rowing, burpee thrusters, sandbag carries and a final sled push and pull. The workout is standardised for each calendar year, with two or three stations changed annually. Singles race at three levels (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced) for men and women, alongside men's, women's and mixed doubles and four-person team relays. The organiser says the race takes about 30 to 55 minutes depending on level. The Beginner level makes it accessible to gym-goers new to fitness racing.
