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

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.

THE ROX is a hybrid fitness event held inside a shopping centre, the A10 Center in Wildau just outside Berlin. It was founded and is hosted by Andy Hagedorn, a personal trainer from the Berlin-Brandenburg fitness community.

The format combines running laps with functional workout stations such as burpee broad jumps, lunges and navy shuttle runs, with judges checking movement standards and electronic timing. Races start in timed slots throughout the day: single runs for women and men, mixed doubles, women's and men's doubles, a mixed team of four (two women, two men), and a kids' run for ages 8 to 14. The organiser says a basic level of fitness is enough and participants set their own pace, so it is aimed at newcomers as well as regular athletes. The shopping-centre setting means racing takes place in front of mall visitors, with partner stands and a warm-up area on site.
