Conquer The Gauntlet vs The Hybrid Games : distance, stations, prix et difficulté comparés (2026-27)

Conquer The Gauntlet is a family-owned obstacle course race company based in Oklahoma. Its current event is CTG Tulsa, held at 181 Ranch in Bixby, Oklahoma.

The course is 4 miles long with more than 25 large obstacles, and the organisers stress it is not a mud run or a 5K with a few walls. Waves start every 15 minutes through the day and participants choose their time slot. To be ranked as an overall champion, racers must run in the first (elite/competitive) wave and complete every obstacle, repeating failed attempts as often as needed; those competing for overall places wear a cloth belt provided at the start. Later open waves allow runners to move on from an obstacle. There is a kids' course for ages 12 and under, and group pricing for teams. The event suits fit runners who want challenging, upper-body-heavy obstacles, while open waves give newer racers a way in.

The Hybrid Games is a fitness race series run at indoor venues across the UK. The course alternates ten 600 m runs with ten functional stations and finishes with a 200 m sprint, about 6.2 km of running in total. Stations include an air bike, wall balls, rowing, burpee broad jumps, dumbbell snatches, lunges, a farmers carry, a sled pull, SkiErg and a sled push, with separate weights for men and women.

Entries are available as Male or Female Solo and as Male, Female or Mixed Doubles. Every station is judged, athletes are chip-timed, and the organisers state that there is no cut-off time. Results feed a season leaderboard ranked by age group. Recent and upcoming host cities include Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham and Glasgow. It suits athletes who train both running and strength and want a judged race.
