Battle Cancer vs Wild Hybrid: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

Battle Cancer is a fitness fundraising event series in which athletes raise money for cancer charities and compete in hybrid fitness challenges. Since 2019, the organisers say, more than 100,000 athletes have taken part in events across over 15 cities, including London, Glasgow, Dublin, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Dubai, Singapore and Miami.

The main Battle Cancer Challenge is a 90-minute event for teams of four (male, female or mixed). Teams rotate through nine stations in three zones, Endurance, Burn and Power, working five minutes of maximum reps followed by four minutes of rest at each. Hybrid 3|20 is a format for individuals or pairs: three minutes of work per station across nine stations, then a 20-minute maximum-distance run. Both formats have a Challenge division that allows movement modifications and a stricter Compete division. Money raised counts as points on the leaderboard, so it suits groups who want a sociable team event with a charity goal.

Wild Hybrid is a UK hybrid fitness race series that combines off-road trail running with outdoor functional workouts, held at estate and park venues. It was launched in 2024 by Daniel Flint of Wild Deer Events and Sam Marshall of CrossFit Chester le Street.

The format alternates five 1 km trail runs with five workout stations and finishes with a 5 km trail run, for about 10 km of running in total. Stations have included sandbag lunges, D-ball cleans, a sled push and pull, single-dumbbell devil's presses and wall balls, with standard and scaled weights. Athletes can race solo or in pairs, and pairs can be same-sex or mixed; pairs run side by side and alternate reps at the stations. Season 3 venues include Lambton Castle (Durham), Bramham Park (Leeds), High Lodge in Thetford Forest, Pollok Park (Glasgow), Bowness on Windermere and Druridge Bay Country Park. It suits trail runners and functional fitness athletes who prefer racing outdoors.
