The Hybrid Games vs Wolf Run: distance, stations, price & difficulty compared (2026-27)

The Hybrid Games is a fitness race series run at indoor venues across the UK. The course alternates ten 600 m runs with ten functional stations and finishes with a 200 m sprint, about 6.2 km of running in total. Stations include an air bike, wall balls, rowing, burpee broad jumps, dumbbell snatches, lunges, a farmers carry, a sled pull, SkiErg and a sled push, with separate weights for men and women.

Entries are available as Male or Female Solo and as Male, Female or Mixed Doubles. Every station is judged, athletes are chip-timed, and the organisers state that there is no cut-off time. Results feed a season leaderboard ranked by age group. Recent and upcoming host cities include Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow. It suits athletes who train both running and strength and want a judged race.

The Wolf Run is an off-road obstacle run in the English Midlands, created and organised by a local farming family led by founder Charlie Moreton. It marked its 15th anniversary in 2026. There are three weekends a year: Spring Wolf and Autumn Wolf at Offchurch Bury near Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, the event's original home, and Summer Wolf at the Stanford Hall estate in Leicestershire.

The main distance is 10K, with a 5K option and Junior Wolf races for younger runners. Courses mix trail running with natural and man-made obstacles: mud, lakes and streams, woodland, ditches and hills, with Stanford Hall known for the 'Mud Sucker'. Runners can take part solo or with friends and family, and the organisers say the event is not about winning. Completing all three seasonal events in one year earns 'Trilogy' status. A separate, obstacle-free Wolf Trails series offers trail runs.
