The Yoddha Race is a hybrid fitness race series in India run by Spectacom Global, the company behind Devils Circuit. Season 3 has six regional races, in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Chandigarh and Delhi, followed by a Grand Finale.

The race alternates 700 m runs with seven workout zones completed in order: 1,000 m rowing, 50 m sled push, 50 m sled pull, 200 m kettlebell carry, 30 box jumps, 100 m weighted lunge walk and wall ball throws, with weights set by category. Categories are Male and Female Open and Male, Female and Mixed Doubles, with a Masters (40+) category added at regional level. Finishers under 90 minutes earn the Yoddha medal. Results feed a national leaderboard that decides who reaches the Grand Finale, which adds mystery workouts and a cash prize pool. It suits regular gym-goers and runners preparing for hybrid racing.

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.
