DURARE vs. MacTuff: 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.

MacTuff is a Scottish events company, MacTuff Limited of Glenrothes, Fife, that runs mud and obstacle challenges for adults and children along with a road half marathon. Its obstacle events include the Really Muddy runs at Castle Fraser, Sauchen near Aberdeen, and in Fife and Kinross, plus MacTuff Kids events in Fife.

The Really Muddy events offer a 3 km kids course and 5 km and 10 km adult courses through mud, water and obstacles. MacTuff Kids is a roughly 3 km course where children run alongside participating adults, with obstacles built in two heights so that adults and children can tackle them together; the organiser sets adult-to-child ratios by age. Participants receive a T-shirt and medal, with free parking, spectator access, photos and bag drop. The events are aimed at families, groups, charity fundraisers and newcomers to obstacle running rather than competitive racers.
