THE ROX vs Turf Games: 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.

Turf Games is a team-based functional fitness competition that tests strength, speed, endurance and teamwork. It started in 2018 as a way to bring London's fitness community together. It was founded by Andrew Manteit and now holds events in cities including London, Dubai, Singapore and Brisbane.

There are several competition formats. Fitness Festivals are run for teams of six athletes, with music, food and entertainment around the competition floor. The City Tour is for teams of four, ranked on one global leaderboard, and Engine is Turf Games' hybrid fitness race. Teams pick a division that matches their level: Everyday is the entry point, with lighter weights and no high-skill movements, while Intermediate and Elite bring heavier loads and more skilled elements. This makes Turf Games suitable for gym groups and friends competing together as well as experienced competitors.
