Hybrid Games NW vs. Savage Race: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

Hybrid NW is a UK hybrid fitness race series that started in north-west England. Every race is nine stations on one continuous clock, joined by 600 m runs and ending with a 200 m run to the finish. The stations are an assault bike, wall balls, a row, burpee broad jumps, loaded lunges, dumbbell snatches, a farmers carry, a SkiErg and a sled push.

Seven divisions race the same course with weights scaled by division: Male and Female Solo; Male, Female and Mixed Doubles; Tribrid, a three-person tag team; and Hyteens, which pairs a 13 to 15 year old with an adult. The 2026 season included a race at Derby Arena and a season finale at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester. The series works with a network of affiliate gyms across the UK, and spectators enter free. It suits athletes with a mix of running and gym fitness, including juniors racing with a parent.

Savage Race is an American obstacle race series with events currently listed in Florida (Dade City) and Georgia (Dallas), held in spring and autumn. It has received awards from Mud Run Guide and OCR Buddy, including best North American series.

There are two formats. The full Savage Race covers 5 to 7 miles with 25 or more obstacles, including its signature near-vertical slide Colossus, ice baths, fire and mud. Savage Blitz is a shorter option of 3+ miles with 15 to 20 obstacles. Entry includes chip timing, a T-shirt and a medal. Most runners join open heats, while the SavagePRO wave on Saturday mornings competes for overall and age-group awards; there is also a SavageJR race for children and a team option. Runners who complete two or more events in a calendar year qualify for the Savage Syndicate medal. The Blitz suits first-timers, while the full race suits runners with a solid fitness base.
