HYFIT Games vs True Grit: distance, stations, price & difficulty compared (2026-27)

HYFIT Games is an Indian indoor hybrid fitness race series launched in 2026 by Saurabh Aggarwal and Anee Verma (Bengaluru). Each race combines 200 m runs with six functional stations (dumbbell step-ups, farmer's carry, bear crawl, burpees to plate, front carry + air squats, tyre flips) plus a cognitive memory challenge at start and finish. Divisions cover Open and Pro singles, doubles, parent+kid 'Bloodline' pairs, NextGen (8-15) and Grand Masters (55-84), and a new double-distance '2X' format. The 2026 season spans nine cities (Gurugram, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Gandhinagar, Delhi); a 2027 edition is announced for Hyderabad.

True Grit is an Australian-owned obstacle course race created by members of the Australian special forces and designed for everyday Australians. Events have been held in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia; upcoming races include Melbourne (Wildwood) and Sydney (Lower Portland).

The main courses are Half Grit, about 5 km, and Full Grit, about 10 km, with military-inspired obstacles that involve running, crawling and climbing through mud and water. The brand has also run 15 km and 30 km events and a 24-hour enduro in NSW. Minimum ages are 12 for Half Grit and 16 for Full Grit. Runners can enter solo, including a dedicated wave for solo entrants, or as gym and group teams, with a group discount for teams of ten or more. The organisers say it suits racers of all ages and fitness levels, with the 10 km course being the tougher test.
