Devils Circuit vs. HYROX: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (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.

HYROX is an indoor fitness race in which athletes run 1 km and then complete one functional workout station, repeated eight times. The stations and their order are fixed: 1,000 m SkiErg, 50 m sled push, 50 m sled pull, 80 m burpee broad jumps, 1,000 m row, 200 m farmers carry, 100 m sandbag lunges and 100 wall balls. Because the format is the same worldwide, results feed global leaderboards and a World Championship at the end of each season.

HYROX launched in Hamburg, Germany, in 2017 and is run by HYROX World GmbH. It was created by race organiser Christian Toetzke with Olympic medallist Moritz Fürste and marketing expert Michael Trautmann. Races take place in large exhibition halls, with start waves throughout the day. Divisions include Open, Pro (heavier weights), Doubles and a four-person Relay. There is no time cap and no qualification needed for age-group entry, so HYROX suits first-time racers as well as competitive hybrid athletes.
