Savage Race vs TRYKA: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

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.

TRYKA is a hybrid fitness race league based in Dublin, which describes itself as Ireland's first inclusive hybrid fitness race league. Events are held in a season of races that count towards the TRYKA Finals, with Series 2 visiting the RDS in Dublin and the NEC in Birmingham.

The standard race is 8 x 800 m runs, each followed by a functional workout: SkiErg, farmers carry, ram thrusters, sled push, sled pull, rower, walking lunges and burpee broad jumps, ending with a 40 m sprint finish. The TRYKA 500 is a half-distance version with 500 m runs and modified workouts for first-timers. Other divisions are Open (800), Pro with heavier weights, Doubles (men, women, mixed), four-person Relay, junior doubles for ages 8 to 15, and the TRYKA Clan for two adults with two children. The league suits beginners through to experienced hybrid racers, gyms and company teams.
