ESN Hybrid Games vs Farm Games: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026)

The ESN Hybrid Games - R.I.S.E. was a hybrid fitness race presented by ESN (Elite Sports Nutrition) at Forders Gym near Birmingham, UK, on 29 March 2025. The organisers billed it as ESN's first fitness race in the UK. R.I.S.E. stands for Resilience, Intensity, Strength and Endurance.

The race featured seven stations, including running, rowing and farmers carries. It offered several divisions: a Pro Athlete division with heavier weights for experienced fitness racers, and an Athlete division with lighter weights for those newer to the sport. Participants raced alongside a group of invited elite hybrid athletes, with cash prizes from a stated £10,000 prize pool across divisions. No later editions or official website for the event could be found, so race.fitness lists it as a single past event rather than a running series.

The Farm Games is an outdoor functional fitness competition hosted by Farm Fitness at its farm-based training venue near Dunmow in Essex, England. It was first held in 2021 and runs as an annual one-day event.

Teams of six athletes, three women and three men, compete across five workouts named Farm Strong, Hustle & Hay, Field Fury, Yard Work and Harvest Hustle. Each workout tests a different aspect of fitness and is built around farm-inspired equipment and outdoor terrain, with an emphasis on teamwork under pressure. The event is closer to a team fitness competition than a timed running race: there is no fixed run distance, and scoring depends on performance across the workouts. It suits groups from gyms or training clubs who already train together in functional fitness and want an outdoor team competition. Farm Fitness also runs other events on site, including Britain's Fittest Farmer and a 10K.
