Devils Circuit vs GYMRACE: distance, stations, price & difficulty compared (2026-27)

Maruti Suzuki Swift Devils Circuit is an obstacle race series in India, founded by Adnan Adeeb and produced by Spectacom Global. It describes itself as India's first obstacle race and is now in its 14th season, touring 12 Indian cities including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Kochi, with a finale in Delhi.

Each race is a 5 km course with 15 obstacles. Categories include Competitive, where men must clear 15 obstacles within 50 minutes and women 13 within 70 minutes to qualify for the leaderboard, a limited Pro Wave, Competitive Doubles, a Corporate Cup for teams of three, and Non-Competitive waves with no clock. The fastest 25 competitive racers qualify for the season finale. Finishers receive a medal, T-shirt and bandana, with hydration every kilometre. The non-competitive waves suit beginners and groups; the competitive categories need good running and grip strength.

GYMRACE is an indoor fitness race organised by the team behind Mud Masters, which has run sports events in the Netherlands and Germany since 2012. Races are held in large indoor venues in the Netherlands, Germany and France, including Utrecht, Amsterdam, Weeze, Duisburg and Paris.

The course has five 1 km runs, 5 km in total. Each run is followed by two stations, and the race ends with a 50 m sprint. The ten stations are a sled push, wall balls, a slam ball carry, a 1,000 m row, kettlebell swings to overhead, a 1,000 m SkiErg, dumbbell farmers lunges, a 2,000 m bike, burpee broad jumps and the final sprint. Athletes race solo, as buddies who split the station work, or in a relay team, in women's, men's, mixed and heavier 'Heavy' categories. The average finish time is about 1 hour 20 minutes and there is no cut-off time. The buddy category is the organiser's suggested entry point for newer athletes.
