Conquer Fitness vs XLETIX Challenge : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

Conquer Fitness is a UK organiser of hybrid fitness races that combine running with functional workout stations. Its events offer solo and team categories and are designed to be open to athletes of all fitness levels.

Its main format is Level Seven: seven endurance-based workouts, or levels, completed back to back against the clock with a 450 m run between each one. Level Seven runs in spring and autumn at Alderley Park, Macclesfield, with categories for solos, mixed teams and same-sex teams and a compulsory seeding workout used to set start waves. Super Seven is a stadium version held at Northwood Stadium, using indoor sports hall workouts and track elements while keeping seven workouts. Station work includes rowing, SkiErg, bike erg, sandbag lunges, tank pushes, farmers carries, devil's presses and shield carries. From 2026, results are recorded per level and masters (45+) podiums were added.

The XLETIX Challenge (presented by MaxiNutrition) is a team-focused obstacle race series organised by XLETIX GmbH, a Berlin company founded in 2013 by Jannis Bandorski and Matthias Ernst. Events take place at seven locations in Germany and Austria, including Berlin, Tirol Innsbruck, München Erding, NRW, Norddeutschland and, from 2027, the Nürburgring.

Participants choose one of three distances, 6 km, 12 km or 18 km, with up to 35 obstacles involving mud, water, walls and slides. The course is run in 6 km loops, so team members can pick different distances and anyone can stop after a completed loop. The focus is on getting through the course together rather than on finishing times. The series suits groups of friends, colleagues and first-time obstacle racers as well as fitter runners who want the longest distance. The same company also runs XLETIX Kids for children aged 5 to 15 and the women-only Muddy Angel Run.
