Gladiator Race vs. Hybrid Games NW: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

Gladiator Race is a Czech obstacle course race series organised by Sportvisio, z.s., an events organisation based in Hradec Králové that also runs road and trail races. The series visits venues around the Czech Republic, including Prague, Pardubice, Terezín Fortress and Český ráj, and adds seasonal editions such as a Halloween race at Josefov Fortress and a winter 'Taxis' race in Pardubice.

Courses run through natural terrain with water, mud and built obstacles. Events such as the Halloween race offer a competitive RACE category, an OPEN category and a FUN option, with entries for individuals, mixed pairs and teams, plus children's races (Kids I, Kids II and Family). Some events have special formats, such as the Halloween race where costumes are encouraged. Series awards such as Triumphalis and Primus Palus recognise racers who complete multiple events. The series suits both first-time obstacle runners in the open categories and competitive athletes in the RACE waves.

Hybrid NW is a UK hybrid fitness race series that started in north-west England. Every race is nine stations on one continuous clock, joined by 600 m runs and ending with a 200 m run to the finish. The stations are an assault bike, wall balls, a row, burpee broad jumps, loaded lunges, dumbbell snatches, a farmers carry, a SkiErg and a sled push.

Seven divisions race the same course with weights scaled by division: Male and Female Solo; Male, Female and Mixed Doubles; Tribrid, a three-person tag team; and Hyteens, which pairs a 13 to 15 year old with an adult. The 2026 season included a race at Derby Arena and a season finale at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester. The series works with a network of affiliate gyms across the UK, and spectators enter free. It suits athletes with a mix of running and gym fitness, including juniors racing with a parent.
