Conquer The Gauntlet vs. Wild Hybrid: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

Conquer The Gauntlet is a family-owned obstacle course race company based in Oklahoma. Its current event is CTG Tulsa, held at 181 Ranch in Bixby, Oklahoma.

The course is 4 miles long with more than 25 large obstacles, and the organisers stress it is not a mud run or a 5K with a few walls. Waves start every 15 minutes through the day and participants choose their time slot. To be ranked as an overall champion, racers must run in the first (elite/competitive) wave and complete every obstacle, repeating failed attempts as often as needed; those competing for overall places wear a cloth belt provided at the start. Later open waves allow runners to move on from an obstacle. There is a kids' course for ages 12 and under, and group pricing for teams. The event suits fit runners who want challenging, upper-body-heavy obstacles, while open waves give newer racers a way in.

Wild Hybrid is a UK hybrid fitness race series that combines off-road trail running with outdoor functional workouts, held at estate and park venues. It was launched in 2024 by Daniel Flint of Wild Deer Events and Sam Marshall of CrossFit Chester le Street.

The format alternates five 1 km trail runs with five workout stations and finishes with a 5 km trail run, for about 10 km of running in total. Stations have included sandbag lunges, D-ball cleans, a sled push and pull, single-dumbbell devil's presses and wall balls, with standard and scaled weights. Athletes can race solo or in pairs, and pairs can be same-sex or mixed; pairs run side by side and alternate reps at the stations. Season 3 venues include Lambton Castle (Durham), Bramham Park (Leeds), High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Pollok Park (Glasgow), Bowness on Windermere and Druridge Bay Country Park. It suits trail runners and functional fitness athletes who prefer racing outdoors.
