Forge Hybrid Race vs THE ROX: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

FORGE Hybrid Race is Cambodia's first hybrid fitness race, held at the ISF Sports Ground in Phnom Penh. Athletes run ten 500 m laps, each followed by one of ten functional stations (some Cambodian-themed, e.g. the Rice Sack Carry), for 5 km in total; a Youth (12-17) division races 2.5 km with five bodyweight stations. Divisions are Individual Male/Female, Doubles Male/Female/Mixed and Youth, with waves of five athletes every five minutes and professional timing. Finisher shirts and patches are produced locally by the NGO ISF Cambodia. The inaugural edition is on 14 November 2026.

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.
