Hybrid X vs. True Grit: Distanz, Stationen, Preis & Schwierigkeit im Vergleich (2026-27)

HybridX is a fitness event company based in North Wales that runs its races at the Eirias Events Centre in Colwyn Bay. Its original event, HybridX Stride, is a multi-stage race of seven 600 m runs, each followed by a functional station: assault bike, farmers carry, sled push and drag, row, burpee broad jumps, sandbag lunges and SkiErg. Stride can be entered in Singles, Doubles or a three-person Relay.

HybridX also runs other formats. Off Season Games is a no-run team competition for three people, Engine is a six-zone race scored on distance, and Forge is a nine-zone doubles challenge. There are also Kids Editions for ages 8 and up. Adult events are open from age 16, with divisions for different experience levels, so the races suit first-timers as well as experienced hybrid athletes. Spectators attend free.

True Grit is an Australian-owned obstacle course race created by members of the Australian special forces and designed for everyday Australians. Events have been held in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia; upcoming races include Melbourne (Wildwood) and Sydney (Lower Portland).

The main courses are Half Grit, about 5 km, and Full Grit, about 10 km, with military-inspired obstacles that involve running, crawling and climbing through mud and water. The brand has also run 15 km and 30 km events and a 24-hour enduro in NSW. Minimum ages are 12 for Half Grit and 16 for Full Grit. Runners can enter solo, including a dedicated wave for solo entrants, or as gym and group teams, with a group discount for teams of ten or more. The organisers say it suits racers of all ages and fitness levels, with the 10 km course being the tougher test.
