DURARE vs. The Hybrid Games: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

DURARE (Race Durare) is an outdoor fitness race in England that is run while carrying a weighted sandbag. Its events take place around Telford and Shropshire, at venues such as CrossFit Telford, Oakengates Leisure Centre and a rugby club, and it is organised by Race Durare Ltd.

The race has eight blocks. In each one, athletes complete 60 reps of a movement and then a 600 m run: burpees, bear crawls, thrusters, lunges, box step-overs, seated twists, squats and ground-to-overheads. Athletes enter solo or as pairs in the DURARE Pro or Open division, with 55+ categories. Sandbag weights range from 7.5 kg to 25 kg depending on division and gender. With no built-in rest, DURARE is aimed at hybrid athletes, gym users and runners, and many entrants come from the CrossFit and HYROX communities.

The Hybrid Games is a fitness race series run at indoor venues across the UK. The course alternates ten 600 m runs with ten functional stations and finishes with a 200 m sprint, about 6.2 km of running in total. Stations include an air bike, wall balls, rowing, burpee broad jumps, dumbbell snatches, lunges, a farmers carry, a sled pull, SkiErg and a sled push, with separate weights for men and women.

Entries are available as Male or Female Solo and as Male, Female or Mixed Doubles. Every station is judged, athletes are chip-timed, and the organisers state that there is no cut-off time. Results feed a season leaderboard ranked by age group. Recent and upcoming host cities include Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow. It suits athletes who train both running and strength and want a judged race.
