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

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.

TRYKA is a hybrid fitness race league based in Dublin, which describes itself as Ireland's first inclusive hybrid fitness race league. Events are held in a season of races that count towards the TRYKA Finals, with Series 2 visiting the RDS in Dublin and the NEC in Birmingham.

The standard race is 8 x 800 m runs, each followed by a functional workout: SkiErg, farmers carry, ram thrusters, sled push, sled pull, rower, walking lunges and burpee broad jumps, ending with a 40 m sprint finish. The TRYKA 500 is a half-distance version with 500 m runs and modified workouts for first-timers. Other divisions are Open (800), Pro with heavier weights, Doubles (men, women, mixed), four-person Relay, junior doubles for ages 8 to 15, and the TRYKA Clan for two adults with two children. The league suits beginners through to experienced hybrid racers, gyms and company teams.
