Super Human Games vs Toughest: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

Superhuman Games is an outdoor functional fitness and endurance competition in Bristol, first held in 2013 and organised by Superhuman Sports. Recent editions have taken place at Greville Smyth Park, with Vivo Life as headline sponsor.

Teams compete as same-sex pairs, mixed pairs or mixed teams of four, with Open, Masters and Vets age groups decided by combined age. Across the day each team completes five 20-minute workouts and scores as many laps as possible in each. The workout themes stay the same every year. Strength & Honour covers heavy lifting such as tyre flips and sandbags, Brutal Beat Down uses bodyweight work, and Unconventional Beast involves odd-object carries. The Assault Course is a military-style obstacle course, and VO2 Max combines running, rucking and hill sprints. The movements are new each year and released 12 weeks before the event. They avoid high-skill elements, so the Games suit both first-timers and experienced athletes.

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.
