Forge Hybrid Race vs Toughest: 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.

Toughest is an obstacle course race series held in Sweden and Norway. The organisers report more than 220,000 runners since 2013, and the race has repeatedly been voted the best obstacle course race in Europe in runner polls.

Each event weekend offers several formats. The Main Race covers about 8 km with the full set of obstacles, and Double Distance is two laps of that course, about 16 km. Xplore is a 4 km version with the hardest obstacles removed and no timing, aimed at first-timers, and Toughest Family is a 2 km course for children and adults together. An Elite class runs the 8 km course for competitive athletes, with the Toughest Tour and OCR World Championship qualification. Courses mix grass, sand, gravel, mud and water, with signature obstacles such as the Ramp and the Holmenkollen. Current venues are Gothenburg, Malmö, Stockholm, Oslo and Sälen. Every finisher receives a medal.
