Braveheart Battle vs. Jakarta Hybrid Race (20FIT): Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

The Braveheart Battle is an old-school obstacle race held each March on the slopes around the Skiarena Silbersattel in Steinach, Thuringia. It is organised by Be Brave Go Hard GmbH, based in Steinach. The event moved from the Rhön to the Thuringian Forest in 2019.

The main challenge is the natural terrain: a hilly cross-country course with steep climbs in wintry conditions, plus added obstacles that need no complicated rulebook. The race starts with a mass start and the 'KillHill' sprint from the valley station to the middle station. Runners choose between the Rookie distance of about 10 km and the Original distance of about 20 km. The organiser requires participants to be able to swim, to wear trail shoes with good grip and gloves, and to be at least 16 years old, and sets a time limit of five hours. Awards go to the fastest women, men and teams. It suits fit trail runners and experienced obstacle racers.

The Jakarta Hybrid Race is a hybrid fitness competition organised by 20FIT, a sports and fitness centre in Jakarta whose 20FIT Arena is an official HYROX training club. The 2026 edition, sponsored by Livin' by Mandiri and VISA, runs over a weekend in November at 20FIT Arena.

The race is a simulation of the HYROX format using official CENTR | HYROX equipment. Athletes run 500 m and then complete one workout station, eight times over: SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmers carry, sandbag lunges and wall balls. Four lanes run side by side for head-to-head racing, with electronic timing. Categories are Singles (men and women, Open and Pro) and Doubles (men, women and mixed), with competition weights set by division, and there is a kids' training session. Because runs are shorter than in a full HYROX race, it suits athletes preparing for their first hybrid race as well as experienced racers.
