Turf Games vs. TYRUN: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

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.

TYRUN is a seasonal fitness race series in Belgium and the Netherlands, run by TYRUN B.V. Each season brings a new workout with new exercises, distances and standards, and races during the season count towards a leaderboard and a season final.

The Season 2 course is four laps, each a 600 m run followed by two stations, for 2.4 km of running and eight stations in total: Echo Bike, seated sled pull, weighted step-ups, med ball sit-ups, a 1,000 m row, devil's presses, a 1,000 m SkiErg and a sandbag carry over a yoke. Athletes race as singles or doubles in Scaled, Open or Pro divisions, which change only the loads and calories, or as four-person relay teams in Open. Most athletes finish in 60 to 90 minutes and there is no cut-off. Season 2 stops include Liège, Hasselt, Amsterdam (Vijfhuizen) and Antwerp, with the finals in Ghent. The Scaled division is aimed at first-time racers.
