Savage Race vs Turf Games: 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.

Turf Games is a team-based functional fitness competition that tests strength, speed, endurance and teamwork. It started in 2018 as a way to bring London's fitness community together. It was founded by Andrew Manteit and now holds events in cities including London, Dubai, Singapore and Brisbane.

There are several competition formats. Fitness Festivals are run for teams of six athletes, with music, food and entertainment around the competition floor. The City Tour is for teams of four, ranked on one global leaderboard, and Engine is Turf Games' hybrid fitness race. Teams pick a division that matches their level: Everyday is the entry point, with lighter weights and no high-skill movements, while Intermediate and Elite bring heavier loads and more skilled elements. This makes Turf Games suitable for gym groups and friends competing together as well as experienced competitors.
